I want to get emails from my Fedora notebook for crontab

First figure out if your MTA is working, then you can figure out
what you want to *actually* send, whether Logwatch rolled-up
reports, or just the individual crontabs. There's almost certainly
a bunch of ways you can slice this.
If you fix your MTA it'll probably Just Start Working I suspect.
Correcting myself, once you have setup /etc/logwatch/conf/
logwatch.conf appropriately, too.
I don't have an MTA on this notebook, and my readings on cron
mailings seemed to indicate without an MTA it is just a local mail
delivery. And since MAILTO = is in the crontab, I SHOULD be seeing
these mails in / var/mail/root
But I am not.
There has to be something to process the email, so you need some sort
of MTA installed.
Try mailx for starters?
Or does it need more...
To get the terms right, you need an MDA or LDA, not an MTA. :-)
Something that can do local mail delivery and it seems that there are no
options available other than the usual servers.
If you really don't want to do that, you can try something from
