#3298: Mutt's way to get the FQDN is broken ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: vinc17 | Owner: mutt-dev Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: mutt | Version: 1.5.20 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment(by Derek Martin): {{{ It's probably worth noting that, even if uname() returns a hostname that contains a '.', that may not be the correct FQDN (for example, it might give you something lame like spiffyname.localdomain). The code I suggested should, in most instances, produce a correct FQDN even where the OS vendor (or the user) is partially brain-damaged, if such a thing is possible (i.e. if the IP address of the machine can be resolved to a real FQDN, using the system's configured host resolution scheme). }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3298#comment:> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
