That's how I wanted it, plus I really just didn't see any reason not to.

Don't see why not. This is a single user sustem, behind an IP masq'ing
firewall, not reachable from outside the LAN. All incoming email is via my
ISP's POP server being gotten by a fetchmail run as a regular user, so the
only mail going to root are things like cron results. If this were a system
connected directly to the outside world, I'd probably do things a bit
differently.
