No no no, that's not at all waht the machine-update script is looking for :)
Doug: the machine-update script just needs to be able to send mail out
from your machine. Install postfix - you can reinstall it after.
Depending on your ISP, you may need to configure postfix to relay mail
through their servers. Details here:

Note that you can also use gmail as your relayhost. Or your ISP may
just not block outgoing mail, though this is increasingly rare :)
