[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In a default install, rottlog is used to rotate logs
weekly and is configured to send mail to
root <at> localhost.

However, the default install has no MTA so the
mail is dumped into /root/dead.letter every
week.

No real harm, but I was confused by the
repeated file creation.
