Actually, the guy that's saying `You have mail' when you log in is (not
particularly surprising) /bin/login.
On most systems, you can configure where login looks for mail (as well
as all sorts of limits) in /etc/login.defs.

: Your shell does this. I guess you use /bin/bash (default on many Linux
: distro's). Normally bash looks every minute in /var/spool/mail/$USER
: for new mail. You can change this behaviour in /etc/profile systemwide
: or in /home/$USER/.profile by setting the $MAIL and/or $MAILPATH
: variable, if I remember correctly. See man bash.
