  Hmmm, close, but backwards.  On RaQ's the /var/spool/mail/<name> is 
actually a link to the /home/spool/mail/<name> file.  The reason for keeping 
the files under /home is (1) space, and (2) ease of use with the quota system 
I believe...  But you are correct, the "symlink" probably no longer exists 
which means he is going to have problems somewhere down the road (since the 
gist I got was he tried "rm" against both filenames).  Probably needs to go 
to /var/spool/mail and issue the command "ln -s /home/spool/mail/admin admin" 
to restore the symlink and make "everyone" happy...
