What are those mails and why should I care about them as a desktop user? They are for all practical purposes under the rug already. > I think despite that many people won't care about this or need it it > would be very very anoying for us to change it so this doesn't work > without fixing the delivery in the first place. If you know enough to care, you are likely not going to be reading the mails directly as root user but reconfiguring to send mails to the email account of choice and a single package to flip over is hardly going to take a few mins. If you are doing it for more than one system, kickstart is going to take care of them. The people who are going to be doing this just have to accept that the majority is going to benefit from not running a mta and the tradeoff has to favor them instead. > Perhaps as an easy step, cron (or cronnie or whatever) could just write > this stuff to a log? Yeah, anything is better than what we have now which is just very sub optimal for everyone involved.
