Yep, but my periodic mail should be send to localhost, so the address
do not have to be routable. On the other hand it is strange it tries
to send the mail via my firewall computer.

I want my computer to be totally closed to the outside when it
comes to mail. Only internal mail on the same machine should be
allowed.
