If your machine is a personal one that nobody else uses, one extra
option you could use would be to have a genericstable entry from every
account on your system (particularly for your user account and root)
that rewrote user at localhost.localdomain to your regular email address.
So all outgoing mail from every account on the system would appear to
have been sent by you. It's a hack and definitely not as good as having
your own domain, but at least you'd be able to send mail.
