+Administrative alerts from this machine should just be routed off the box to `chavez`, which is currently handling mail for mayfirst.org:
+{{{
+aptitude install nullmailer mailx
+}}}
+
+`nullmailer` was configured solely via `debconf`, with the following settings:
+{{{
+0 marcos:~# debconf-show nullmailer
+* shared/mailname: marcos.mayfirst.org
+  nullmailer/adminaddr: root@mayfirst.org

+== updates ==
+I also wanted updates about available upgrades to get sent off, so i included `cron-apt`, and set it to nag when updates are available:
+{{{
+aptitude install cron-apt
+echo 'MAILON="upgrade"' >> /etc/cron-apt/config
