But perhaps we could/should change the configuration of msec to not send

Better doing it for /etc/security/msec/level.* then.

That sounds sensible to me. If nobody objects, i'll think that's the way
to go.
Looking at the current defaults by level
for MAIL_USER= , MAIL_WARN= , and NOTIFY_WARN= respectively:
level.none: every parameter is nul (undefined)
level.standard, .netbook, .audit_daily, .audit_weekly are: root , yes , yes
level.fileserver, .webserver, .secure are: root , yes , no
So all levels currently default to send warnings to root,
and only the server and secure levels don't default to displaying warnings on
the desktop.
It probably makes sense to change the default to MAIL_WARN=no for standard and
netbook. (Since if the messages are ignored, they will end up using a lot of
disk space.)
But for the other levels, it seems to me that the current default (yes) is more
likely to be wanted. As well, users selecting those security levels should
(hopefully) be savy enough to know what values to configure.
