Hi,
This would do most of the job, indeed, but not all: you still have to
run a mailreader, which webmail-only users don't.
A dedicated, simple, read-only, local-only mail reader could tell the
user that this mailbox usually contains system warnings and point them
to where to look for help if they don't understand them.
With a dedicated package, we can also try to configure (automatically of
via debconf) local mail forwarding in case of a server installation.
But your proposal looks so much simpler that it's probably the way to go.
Kind regards, Thibaut.
