Yes. Thanks -- I discovered this early this morning.
Shouldn't smailconfig automatically assume that
hostname=localhost:foo:foo.domain.com
should be added in /etc/smail/config? The only way to do this currently
is to answer the "Is this system known by any other names?" question with
"Yes; localhost" ... is there a case where you _wouldn't_ want this, and
if so, is it a _default_ one?
