That should be good enough, *if* sendmail is working on that machine
and that address doesn't bounce. If you do

echo 'testing the client'|mutt -s 'testing client'  tim at alfred.gayleard.com

do you ever get the email?

I am also assuming you haven't tweaked the default config of logwatch.

Speaking of which, you could try changing the "mailto" field in
/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf.
