<guess>seems like it's done in a PAM plugin somewhere,
as i often get log message about 

	May 30 22:29:59 server sshd[6038]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; MAIL

so i get the impression pam is looking at environment stuff. i
could be wrong. </guess>

i coulda swore are also references to it in your ~/.bashrc
or ~/.login or /etc/*rc login scripts -- but now i can't find
any such references, so i'll just go sit in the corner and
whimper. (!)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #12 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Where is the DOCUMENTATION? It's all over the place... and there's
lots of it. Much was written for non-debian distributions, and
much was written long, long ago. But try these anyhow: on your
own system, try "man" and "info" and "apropos", and also look
under /usr/share/doc/<package>* ... Online, there's linuxdoc.org,
debianhelp.org, and debian.org/doc/ of course.  Also try
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/general/index-deb-help-sys.html
