It IS possible to just ignore (or leave it to the logs) stuff going on in a desktop system, but services like logwatch are very helpful to maintain a healthy system.  Plus there is cron for regular tasks we like to perform.

Probably some /bin/sendmail script that maps sendmail arguments to a mailx call.  Plus if you DO install sendmail or postfix, it should undo this setup.
