Package: msmtp
Version: 1.4.15-1
Severity: normal

When msmtp does a SMTP EHLO to a server, it uses as a hostname
'localhost' by default. In at least one case this resulted in one of my
e-mails being flagged as spam by a recipient's mail software. It was a
combination of factors, but apparently the 'localhost' hostname was
quite a big factor in it.

I realize that this can be changed with the 'domain' option, which is
what I did. But maybe it would be smart to change the default to
something else then 'localhost'.

Cheers!
