On Linux it depends on the Distribution. Debian defaults to nodename
only, Redhat/Fedora defaults to the FQDN.

Heh. I thought so, but since it's been 7 or 8 years since I last used
Solaris, so I wasn't sure. It's certainly the case on HP-UX:
% /bin/hostname -f
You must be superuser to set the hostname
(And yes, I've had hosts called "-f" or "-s" every now and then because
I ran some script I developed on Linux on Solaris or HP-UX as root
without checking ...).

I'm quite sure that used to work (I did override the local hostname with
config/me on some hosts). I'll have a look at it.
As a workaround you could have a look at my config_me_localaddr plugin,
which derives "me" from the local IP address of the SMTP connection.
