Interesting question. Ubuntu definitely supported $HOME/.mailrc aliases
in version 10.04 (with its installed postfix).
Also, the mail command has supported $HOME/.mailrc since the 1980s,
even pre-Linux. It would be (IMHO) pretty unwise/unlikely to drop
support for a config file that Linux
After some investigation, it seems /usr/bin/mail is part of the
mailutils package. So this alias expansion should be happening within
/usr/bin/mail and not from postfix.
** Package changed: postfix (Ubuntu) = mailutils (Ubuntu)
