But see, it doesn't "work by default". By default (with sendmail) mail is just dropped in /var/spool/mail/root. The user is given no hint, documentation, or otherwise notification that they may want to configure some email client to subscribe to this, which is quite difficult as a normal user to subscribed to /var/spool/mail/root . Things certainly don't "work by default". If you're interested in them working by default, I would suggest helping out the situation and ensuring that this vastly important email is delivered to the user rather than some spool file a user has no access to. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
