Actually, I am not running a sendmail server in this sense on my system.
I don't think port 25 is open to incoming packets.

I don't really want my logwatch report to go to my ISP.
If I did there would be no problem, I would send the email
to gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx , which is my email address.

My hope is that it is possible to send email locally
without involving anything outside one's own system.
I still believe there must be some simple change one can make
to sendmail.mc which would allow this.

I think this is a misunderstanding of what I am trying to do.
I could easily send my logwatch report to the machine I want (alfred)
by posting it to gayleard@xxxxxxxxxx , my email address.
I collect my mail by fetchmail from my ISP every 5 minutes.
(I also collect it from 2 other servers, including gmail.com ,
as well as a UUCP feed.)

But I think it must be possible to process and deliver it locally,
and am trying to find out if this belief is justified.
