I don't want the localhost mail to go out through a real smtp
server, and I'm not too keen on running a huge mailing package
like sendmail or postfix on my laptop. What are my options?

Use esmtp, it handles local mail delivery in addition to sending
mail to upstream servers. It's available in Fedora, "yum install
esmtp". For documentation see:
http://esmtp.sourceforge.net/doc.html


Thanks, I think that works.

Here's what I did:

* install esmtp-local-delivery (it installs procmail)
* edit /etc/esmtprc to include this line:
mda "procmail -d <user>"
(where <user> is my underprivileged username)

Esmtp does't use aliases, but by lucky coincidence the user is specified right there in the procmail command line :)
