I've been there. I set up BIND because I wanted to anyway. That's overkill, though. Have a look at the ISP-HOWTO. I seem to remember that putting a fake fully qualified domain name (ie. linuxbox.mydomain.local) in /etc/hostname fixed that problem, though. Feel free to e-mail me if that doesn't fix it.
