How can I get the logwatch report on one machine (helen.gayleard.com)

It seems to be more difficult than I thought
to send email from one machine on a LAN to another.
Is there some line I could add to sendmail.mc which would enable this?
On my network, I also need to set SMART_HOST in sendmail.mc to the mail
relay host provided by my ISP.
Well, I do that anyway.
But that means all my email is sent to my ISP to deliver.

I want local email to be sent directly.
I thought
        mailer(LOCAL)
in sendmail.mc did this, but it doesn't appear to on my system.

in this case, local means local (on the same computer)

as I said, if you want to deliver mail on your local network...you're
gonna have to set up DNS and a system to act as MX for your local
network.

Sendmail should fall back to A records if no MX exists, and it should accept any names you've added to /etc/mail/local-host-names (requires a sendmail restart) as local regardless of what DNS says. If you want network-local mail delivered to some other machine you can define MAIL_HUB in sendmail.mc with approximately the same syntax as SMART_HOST (i.e. use []'s around literal IPs or hostnames where you want to skip the MX lookup). Then mail determined to be local will go to the MAIL_HUB and you can still send outside mail to a different SMART_HOST.

Also on that system, you will need to make it a POP3/IMAP
server so you can retrieve mail.

Or run mail/mutt, or something that knows how to read the inbox directly.
