Users typically don't do anything directly with sendmail but during an
install an alias for root should be set up so system messages reach
someone who cares about the things logwatch and smartctl will send.
I don't understand the point of making something only useful to naive
users. They won't always stay naive forever. And what's the point of
booting faster? If you want speed, you want sleep/hibernate to work -
or just leave the machine on and give it something to do.
