I realize that these names are not known to the real world.
But I imagine that there must be some way of sending email
from one machine on a LAN to another
without going outside the LAN.
Or at least a way of sending the logwatch report "along the LAN".

In fact, I know I used to do this.
IIRC this was effected simply by giving the name of the machine
that I wanted the logwatch to be sent to, in /etc/aliases .
But if that ever worked it does not appear to now.

I suspect that there has been some change in sendmail,
or at least in the default sendmail.mc .
