So one thing that's annoyed me for a while is that there are several
things which will pull in nullmailer to accept local mails, but don't
pull in anything to do local delivery (And I'm not sure if nullmailer
can even pass things to local delivery) so your local delivery mails
by default just stack up in the nullmailer outbound queue unless you
configure it to pass them off to an external mail system.
Since the most commonly used of these programs are things like cron
where local delivery is probably the only thing most users would
care about it might be nice if the default configuration were one
that does that, and then those who want local mail relayed elsewhere
still don't have any significant extra setup work to do.
The idea of having a default mail configuration that would deliver
locally originated messages (e.g. from cron) to local user's mailboxes
(mbox) in /var(/spool)/mail makes sense to me.
I don't think I'd /personally/ us it b/c I run full MTAs on all my
systems. But that's /me/. I realize that I'm atypical.
But I would +1 a simple config that does local delivery from "<foo> |
mail ${USER}" to end up in "/var/spool/mail/${USER}".
