Oh now i know why when i read this:

mail_always 
Send mail to the mailto user every time a users runs sudo. This flag is off by default.

I usually use sudo for giving developers access to some of the privileges to run chown under root to change oracle owned forms (after compilation) to thier user name!

Never used it with mail! I would consider this a spam to my inbox to be honest!!

I do not want to use sudo for mail. I want sudo to mail me if someone that is not in the sudoers file trys to use sudo. There are other instances when you need email notifation from sudo
