The wording could have been better, but I do think that for many users,
they aren't likely to be reading mail from the local machine (and less
likely to be reading root's email). So for mail delivery I think it would
make more sense to be able to easily send it to remote addresses rather
than trying to drop it into /var/mail.
More so than going through the logs. Plus you probably can configure
your mail reader to also process the local store as well as your mail
server. Got to look at Thunderbird to see if I can...
Some clients can definitely do that, but it isn't going to obvious to people
that they should do that. I think it's going to be sysadm types that worry
about what's getting sent to root on their machines.
And logwatch is all about taking logs and summarizing them. Log that
as well? Seems a little convoluted.
It depends on how much value is added by the short logs.
I think for normal desktop users, desktop alerts of abnormal activity is
going to be more useful then log extracts. However, currently logwatch
reports a lot of stuff that isn't really important and you wouldn't want
generate alerts for everything it currently reports on.
