+Looking at the current defaults by level
+ for MAIL_USER= , MAIL_WARN= , and NOTIFY_WARN= respectively:
+
+level.none: every parameter is nul (undefined)
+level.standard, .netbook, .audit_daily, .audit_weekly are: root , yes , yes
+level.fileserver, .webserver, .secure are: root , yes , no
+
+So all levels currently default to send warnings to root,
+and only the server and secure levels don't default to displaying warnings on
+the desktop.
+
+It probably makes sense to change the default to MAIL_WARN=no for standard and
+netbook. (Since if the messages are ignored, they will end up using a lot of
+disk space.)
+But for the other levels, it seems to me that the current default (yes) is more
+likely to be wanted. As well, users selecting those security levels should
+(hopefully) be savy enough to know what values to configure.
