That's entirely possible; and it is up to your distribution [Debian]
how to do local mail.  And, yes, they change sometimes; when they did
it was most certainly in their release notes.   I'd categorizing
leaning on the local mail system of a UNIX/LINUX **workstation** to be
a very odd choice, it usually is not completely configured - if you
want the local mail system on a workstation configured a particular way
then you are now a Sys-Admin and need to do that.

Nope, this has nothing to do with GNOME.  You are using a setting that
explicitly reaches outside the GNOME bubble.
