Better to tell root what needs to be done. Just how you tell root can be
tricky - if mail's working *you can open the smtp port), or if sendmail's
installed, it's pretty easy.
Otherwise, perhaps something installed in the initscripts to let root know
when mail's working.
The first case covers post-install conditions; the second if it's done during
system-install.
