I'm running testing, and I have both - /var/mail/$USER and 
/var/spool/mail/$USER. Why is this? The file sizes are equal, so
they appear to be identical twins. Any ideas why there's two places
for mail? This, of course, isn't really a problem - I'm just curious
why the mail spool is located in two places.

I use fetchmail to fetch and Exim to handle the mail, as well.
