I know I can always look in the logs, but I would probably miss
something if I have to do this manually for every daemon that is
running.  It is much simpler to monitor this through system mail.

Hence, I would like to know what happens if there is no MTA installed;
do I still get system mail notifying me of cron jobs, denied hosts, etc?

Thanks,
