Me too, it's just that when the number of computers you are
maintaining grows above 2, then reading mail from different addresses
becomes tedious. Therefore I'd like to have a configuration in which
I'm sure there's no mail for local accounts. For boxes off the network
or otherwise completely broken I had this requirement (which I now
realize is not so optional after all, unless the mail waiting in the
out-queue can be read easily):
5. The mail to UIDs under 1000 (i.e. root) is also appended to a flat file
in /var/log or similar
