[PATCH] Use /etc/mailname for the hostname part of the email address.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Matt Kraai <kraai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

/etc/mailname contains the hostname to be used on outgoing email
messages generated locally on Debian systems (cf.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html).
If it available, use it instead of gethostname or gethostbyname.

	If this is only appropriate for the Debian package, I
	apologize.  Please let me know if this is the case and I'll
	submit it to the Debian maintainer.
