It cannot.  Ask bapt@ who was the one to import it, and later abandon
the idea of making it our default MTA.  The reason was that it does not
have a default domain setting, so it cannot handle email from cron,
periodic etc. where the recipient is just a user name (usually “root”),
and the devs were not willing to add that feature.  I have email as far
back as 2015 on the subject.
