Just looking at what's in there:
"It's probably best to let the operator enter an arbitrary email address
instead of redirecting root to another account on the same system, since
that account's email may or may not be read by a MUA"
For a lot of people, that'd require reconfiguring sendmail, and
registering a real domain name. As they won't be able to post to any
real internet e-mail address *from* <root@localhost>, etc.
If the hostname is properly configured then it shouldn't be an issue.
But anyway, the more flexible the configuration, the better. It's
probably best if the user can choose between forwarding to a local
account or forwarding to an arbitrary email address.
