Bjørn Forsman 12e84c6378 nixos/postfix: make symlink /var/mail -> /var/spool/mail 
This solves the problem of e.g. mutt not finding mail unless the user
sets MAIL=/var/spool/mail/$USER.

The default MAIL variable seems come from bash. Reasons for adding
symlink instead of changing MAIL default in bash:

- No need to rebuild world
- FHS recommends /var/mail over /var/spool/mail anyway[1]. Better fix
  NixOS mail location than change MAIL in bash to something that doesn't
  work on non-NixOS (however unlikely that users run nixpkgs bash on a
  non-NixOS distro...).

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-14.12 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
