It seems to go into the queue.
Just like on a GNU/Linux system with postfix shut down (is that so?  
can't check this lacking root access on our systems.)

OK, that's a good idea.  I'll report this. But don't expect this to  
be changed any time soon.

whether it purposefully chokes on e-mails. And I'm saying it should  
go through the system's standard mail client.
