I appreciate the reply, but it's not a solution for me. In fact, it's one I explicitly don't want. I do the occasional Linux install for fairly clueless folks who own older hardware, and I'm not going to subject them to the the headaches and overhead of running unnecessary services, especially a mail server. I was just looking for a convenient way for them to be informed of updates, or have them automatically done with something other than a cryptic log file for them to look at.
It seems too obvious, but have you looked at update-notifier?
