Are you sure you don't also need curly.local in there?  Haha!

You shouldn't really need any of those in there, unless mail is  
addressed to them.  For example, if you only receive mail on that box  
for x@moe.local, and the machine's name is moe.local, you don't even  
need a local-host-names file.  The only entries needed are those for  
which you accept mail, that are not the actual hostname for the box.

Make sense?
