TL;DR: it's supposed to send email to an administrator, but by default on some distros (including Ubuntu), it isn't actually sent anywhere.

omg I totally accidentally enabled this

I'd bother removing it but it's kinda funny to get an email reprimanding me when I ctrl+c out of a sudo command I mistyped, and maybe it will serve as a warning if it gets compromised :p
