Yeah, what mouss said. A colleague and I were looking at this a little while ago when doing a migration, wondering how they're created with group="mail", seeing as it can't be done as the user during local delivery. It's done when the user is added, and I believe you can affect this behaviour with /etc/login.defs. On my Debian system it looks like you can change the location but not remove it entirely - I dunno, Your Mileage May Vary.
