In fedora 22, sudo apparently defaults to sending mail out
about unsuccessful sudo attempts. I have a bunch of automated
tests that run on my system, one of them attempts to use sudo
to verify that it fails :-). As a result I keep getting all
sorts of mail about these failures.
I see lots of mail settings in the sudo config info, but
none of them that are described clearly enough that I can
say "Yea, that's how I turn of this annoying mail."
It's probably mail_no_user which is the only mail_* that's on by default.
Run "visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/no_user", insert "Defaults
!mail_no_user", save, quit
