Well, it would only be procmail (if that is indeed your MDA) putting it
there.  And barring any other rules defining where procmail puts stuff,
it'll end up being delivered to the location set in the DEFAULT
variable.

So check the user's .procmailrcs, and the systemwide config file
/etc/procmailrc.

A real solution could be something along the lines of putting
DEFAULT=/var/mail/$LOGNAME
in /etc/procmailrc.
