It is easier to move mail to /bin than to /usr/etc.  If you do, change the link in /bin to
point to the new location.  The delivered /etc/sendmail.cf has mail being /bin/mail,
/usr/ucb/Mail (a.k.a. /usr/ucb/mail) believes that mail lives in /bin, and I'm sure that
there are other programs that assume they "know" where mail lives.
