Yeah, I know...


It turns out that there is an easy way to shut off that check
in FreeBSD; I just didn't see it. You just add the line:

daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"    # No separate 'submit' queue


to /etc/periodic.conf. It might be enough to just mention that,
and the mailwrapper setup, in the FreeBSD section of the README;
and possibly add a FreeBSD entry to the FAQ. (Which is probably
more actual work than ignoring the -Ac parameter; but arguably
cleaner.)
