Not sure if this is relevant - but what does the command hostname return
at this point? You can also #cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname to see what
it says - and to change it w/o rebooting echo "riverside" >>
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname (not sure if this is really advisable,
though). What MUA are you using that puts "@knoppix" ? Is it gnu
mailutils?
