Nope, Solaris and HPUX 10.x have been using it for years and I've been
using /etc/mail long before FreeBSD adopted it just because I don't like
having too many unrelated files in /etc.

That's also why I implemented "--with-etcdir" in ssh 1.1 (way back in '96),
to be able to put it into /etc/ssh instead of /etc.

We should move everything sendmail-related into /etc/mail IMO:

/etc/mail:
