# ( LANG= ; grep /var/mail /bin/* /usr/bin/* /usr/sbin/* /sbin/*;
grep /var/spool/mail /bin/* /usr/bin/* /usr/sbin/* /sbin/* ) | sort |
uniq -d
Binary file /usr/bin/balsa-ab matches
Binary file /usr/bin/balsa matches
Binary file /usr/bin/epic-EPIC4-2.2 matches
Binary file /usr/bin/epic matches
Binary file /usr/bin/gkrellm matches
Binary file /usr/bin/incm matches

Don't try look on stupid examples ;>
Try answer on some very basig/elementar questio like: if some programs
