Urp. I was confused; it's only the /bin/login from the original shadow
suite that actually checks /etc/login.defs.
A properly PAM-ified /bin/login ought to be able to use the pam_mail
module, though---i have no idea if util-linux's login is so configured
or not, nor if any other vendor's login is so configured. (See
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ for info about PAM and Linux).
