Where is the system mailbox set?

Hi

I have just set up a new mail server using Maildir that I'm going to 
migrate to. My MTA is postfix on CentOS 4.2 and everything is working OK 
as far as I can tell.

However, whilst using formail -s to convert all my mboxes to Maildir, I 
notice this error:

procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/jamesp"

But then the mail is delivered to my Maildir inbox anyway.

Procmail -v shows my system mailbox as /var/mail/jamesp as well - but 
both /etc/procmail and ~/.procmail have MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ and I can 
find no mention on /var/mail anywhere. $MAIL in my environment is unset.

So, where does this come from?

Thanks!

James
