For those systems there's cron-apt and debsecan. Your choice. Both use the
local MTA to deliver their message.

This is more or less explained in the "Keep your system secure" section of
the Securing Debian Manual
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch10.en.html#s-keep-secure
although it's a bit dated (doesn't explain debsecan too much, doesn't mention
update-manager and mentions Tiger, which I should remove from there).
