No, sudo is not a IDS.

ahem... isn't it stupid to have a control system to send a mail to sysadmin if someone's tries and fails to 'sudo' and have the option to not do it? :-$

Not using sudo makes sense; if you don't already have root, no way exists to find out if you can sudo that won't generate a mail to the sysadmin if you can't, short of grepping .bash_history for "sudo". Even then, many people have sudo configured to require a password.
