What format is the file /var/mail/username mail utilities

I need a sample file where mail utility stored messages.

What I mean is:
Return-path: <user@example.domain>
Received: from anton by nflogs.domain with local (Exim 4.80)
(envelope-from <user@example.domain>)
id 1VuiP9-0006js-Fa; Tue, 9 Nov 2021 19:45:11 +0700
To: man@nflogs.domain
Subject: test
Cc: textCC@example.domain
Message-Id: <E1VuiP9-0006js-Fa@example.domain>
From: Anton <user@example.domain>
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2021 19:45:11 +0700


But I'm not sure that it's right.
