I've been there. I set up BIND because I wanted to anyway. That's
overkill, though.
Have a look at the ISP-HOWTO. I seem to remember that putting a fake
fully qualified domain name (ie. linuxbox.mydomain.local) in /etc/hostname
fixed that problem, though.
Feel free to e-mail me if that doesn't fix it.
