I'm surprised you are able to do that with fedora's default mail
configuration that only accepts from localhost... Perhaps you should
let us in on the secret.
This is outside of the issue that any such critical notification delivered
via e-mail makes it nigh-impossible to safely and sanely undertake
specific actions on user input acting on the notice.
What? If there was a specific way to fix the problem you should just do
it without bothering a user.
Should the information be sent via e-mail to an adminstrator, and
stored for later viewing in general? Yes. Does that mean e-mail is
the best mechanism for presenting it? No.
If you have a bad email mechanism, fix that problem.
