But now (some? most?) users would like to collect mail in one mailbox,
with more features (POP, IMAP, antispam), which are an overkill for
every system.
Anyway, POSIX prescrives only mailx command (to send mail and read local mail).
LSB defines also sendmail.
<sarcasm> it is expected from UNIX systems that /usr can be a partition.
Where is the line from old behaviour, and really actual user expectations?
