That's the default and it didn't work (and I don't know why).  I played 
around with:

Mailer: SMTP
MailerArgs: [Host => 'localhost']

which would seem to be right (and is what Email::Send suggests), but it 
didn't work.

It turns out that Email::Send expects MailerArgs to be passed as an 
array-ref (with is automatically turned into a hash-ref if the number of 
elements is even).  Unfortunately, the YAML parser takes the above code 
and creates a one element array-ref with the contents of:

	"Host => 'localhost'"

i.e. the fat comma is not significant.  Much swearing ensued, until I 
was able to discover that if I pass just 'localhost' (i.e. intentionally 
a single/odd array), then Email::Send DTRT.
