NO
qmail-queue(8):
qmail-queue - queue a mail message for delivery
qmail-qread(8):
qmail-qread - list outgoing messages and recipients
...you don't want to inject an empty and broken message from your
/etc/periodic scripts, won't you? ;-)
sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
send-mail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
mailq /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread

this is a good idea, but on my systems the users do not have to fiddle

why that? would you like to set up a system wide default for the user
name? this is unix, not windows... this would not make much sense as far
i can understand it.
if you want a systemwide default from: for all outgoing mail and you got
mailwarper^Wmailwrapper then install a shellscript that invokes qmail's
sendmail with -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]
