The notion that the system mails things to certain local accounts is still quite strong in FreeBSD. In fairness, it's a notion that has a long history in Unices in general; so it isn't FreeBSD Think. On the gripping hand, it's mad that it's still Sendmail, although that is going to change. It's 2023, and the fact that a FreeBSD system still has the traditional ~2000 lines of indistinguishable-from-line-noise "DO NOT EDIT THIS" stuff in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, complete with whole bunches of rules for UUCP, is rather amazing. I wonder how many small FreeBSD systems out there are spending their time double-bouncing cron-job mail that cannot be delivered. (-:
