I am going to give you the answer that was given to me. It is my
understanding that if you export the MAILPATH in your system wide shell
config file, it is not necessary to have symbolic links to
/var/spool/mail/user.
This is my understanding from my experiences with qmail, but I am not very
advanced in my knowledge, so if there's another legitimate reason to have
symbolic links, someone feel free to enlighten me.
