Linux systems often only configure their shortname with

Try to figure out where your particular flavour of Linux sets its
hostname and teach it to set a FQDN instead of a shortname.
You're right, this is my case! Will consider moving to FQDN in
hostname then (wonder what it may break)...
For what it's worth, I've never encountered anything that *relies* on
the weird Linux behaviour. [But plenty of things that don't work around
it as elegantly as Postfix does by appending .localdomain!]
