Works OK on a desktop, but how is the home server use case, where the 
user is not logged in on the computer, supposed to be handled?

Regarding emails. I still have not gotten any response from anyone on 
how to handle the output from, as an example, cron, logwatch, etc. 
Hopefully someone could tell how that is supposed top be taken care of 
now that the MTA is removed. That would involve both adding to the 
journal, and notify the user, and/or other actions. Shouldn't that have 
been addressed *before* removing the MTA?
