Garance A Drosihn <drosih@rpi.edu> probably said: > "cron'd events", such as if you add your own cron jobs, cron will > email you if the process fails, or output from the process when > it succeeds (depending on how you have the job setup). Cron itself > expects it can send mail. So does lpd (if a user does 'lpr -m', > for instance). So why can't we run sendmail by default, just with no '-bd' option so it doesn't listen on port 25. Local mail will get delivered, it's not a remote security problem ...
