Here's a possible replacement: Avoid looking up the current user's password database entry (which might be on another machine) and the current machine's domain name for outgoing mail (which can involve a reverse DNS lookup) when the environment, configuration, or command line specifies a name and email that would override them. Or it might make sense to drop that paragraph altogether, since the subject line already says as much. Thanks for looking it over.
