changing mail directory

SysV puts incoming mail in /usr/mail/<login>.  Is there a way to change
that (without patching source code)?  I thought that the MAIL
environmental variable controlled the destination, but someone suggested
that since it is uucp that is "logging in" and is using uucici as its
shell, it doesn't look at MAIL.

Thanks.
