useradd

Hi!
I have a slight problem with useradd in RHEL3. When adding a new user, a
file is created in /var/mail/<username>.
This "feature" is not documented in the manpage, nor can I find a way to
suppress this behavior.
The problem is, that the users mailbox is /var/mail/<username>/inbox

The other  issue is, that I would like to make some other custom
changes, when adding users (adding to maillist, creating maildir, adding
to smbpasswd...). In debian there is a local script, which is executed
after adduser.

Any ideas?

Alexander
