 Unfortunately if you ask useradd to create a home directory for a user
there is no way to stop it from also creating a mail directory.   You'll have
to remove the directory after using useradd.   If you can live without useradd
creating the home directory then passing "-M" to useradd will suppress the
creation of both the home and mail directories.
