Um... which is actually another reason for local mail being default; in
the event a user's mail recipient is not configured, it goes to a local
spool only readable by root and that user. If Sue sets up a computer and
adds an account for Bob, it's not really ideal if Bob's mail gets sent
to sue@xxxxxxxxxxx because Bob doesn't have a recipient specified.

Sending log file contents that may contain sensitive data via unencrypted e-mail is not a good thing to do imho.

Modern MTA's can encrypt transmission if configured to.
