OK, I found out that this is the usual outgoing queue which needs to be
processed by sendmail, probably through another cronjob or a process that
itself checks that directory periodically.

It’s really not easy to find a description of the default setup of olden

for something like unix local mail setup, most results are about setting up
an SMTP server. In hindsight—perhaps that is simply the way to go. :-/
