This informs you that a security script had been runned and will
report it's output via a different email (standard).
If you configure it to not be enabled at all; it wil tell you nothing.
If you select the other option it will be logged via
a different way.
I do not see the arugments you are proposing. I think the current
output is just fine, when I read my daily email
and see that there is additional output seperately; I will read that
seperate email.
