Don't forget that does require you to either have your system configured
with a real domain name, or sendmail (or sendmail replacement)
configured to rewrite outgoing messages to have a real domain name.
In most cases, you won't be able to send an e-mail from root@localhost,
or any address with fake domain name, to an ISP's mail account.
Thanks for correcting that point I missed. I was thinking of what I did,
and never gave a real-domainless computer a thought. Good thing to know
there are people out there looking out for me! {^_^}
