Yes... and no, because after second look at your driver it looks more
like a mailbox. So basically I don't know. I usually hope contributors
know better. :)

If this is onlt mailbox provider, then should be placed in mailbox. If
this is much more (including mailbox) but main function is network, then
could be in net. So it all depends...
