I call bullshit. How is it useful to you? All it can possibly do is deliver mail to root and users in /var/spool . We don't set up any mail reader to read this mail out of the box. No app is very likely to know your user name and send mail to you. The only practical thing you can do with the OOTB sendmail configuration is manually read or configure an agent to read the mail in root's /var/spool directory - and that is not the recommended way to read root's mail _anyway_, the recommended way is to alias root to a user account. Sorry, but I am firmly on the 'this is a mechanism from the 1980s' side of the argument. I run my own mail server, ground up. It makes me feel all old-school geeky. I am one of a minority of about 0.0001% in the world these days, and I don't even use sendmail anyway. It's just ludicrous that we have it in @core.
