immediately after reboot and root login via ssh:
root@fedora:~# hostnamectl
Static hostname: (unset)
Transient hostname: fedora
Icon name: computer-desktop
...
... and after retrying a few minutes later:
root@fedora:~# hostnamectl
Static hostname: (unset)
Transient hostname: FOO42.EXAMPLE.COM
Icon name: computer-desktop
...
IOW, same as plain `hostname`. After 30-ish seconds from boot and root
login, the transient hostname is set to something useful, after which
sendmail can be properly (re)started.

Please keep in mind that this is a "cattle" machine started from an
image shared with a bunch of other machines. The only thing
distinguishing between them is the static dhcp lease and associated dns
name that are stored *externally* to the machine(s).
I need sendmail for things like logwatch to percolate into my inbox, via
a .forward file added to /root during kickstart.
This used to work great for *years*, across many versions of Fedora,
until it regressed recently due to what I believe is some sort of race
condition between systemd and sendmail...
Thanks,
