As far as log-ins concern, your machine only has to see itself as that
name where the checks are done. If it's purely a local login, then only
the local side of things needs to associate that name with itself. If
you do it over the internet, then the name has be checkable in a public
way.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
