Most _interactive_ users do. Most automated tasks (e.g. cron) do not
have any queueing.
Even if you are trying to dumb the system down to a Mac's
pseudo-single-user style, you still need crontab and mail to work - as
it does on a Mac.
What happens to emails generated on a Max OSX via crontab or any other
automated system? Does it run sendmail or some equivalent of it?
10.5 runs postfix.
Just curious how they solve it as on a Mac i'd bet you that hardly any
typical user will know what root is.
I don't think anything in the default install sends mail, but if as a
user you use 'crontab -e' to create a crontab entry, the output is
delivered to /var/mail/yourlogin and the command line mail and mailx
programs know where to find it as expected on any unix-like system.
Or you can set MAILTO= in the crontab if you want it elsewhere.
Following standards is a good thing...
