On a Koha fresh install Koha install and ask for setup info for nullmailer
package. As this sometimes doesn't look mandatory is usually left unconfigured:
bad mistake: This make mail.log increase in gigabytes steps until runing out of
space (as Marco Moreno says on bug #12364/c1):

$ ls -lahS /var/log/mail.*
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  39G Dec 14 06:46 /var/log/mail.log.1
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  15G Dec 19 08:20 /var/log/mail.log
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm  11G Dec 14 06:46 /var/log/mail.err.1
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 4.0G Dec 19 08:20 /var/log/mail.err

.err white lines like: nullmailer[938]: Sending failed:  Host not found
