That change was originally to fix

Do you know if the configurations discussed there will still work?

Hi David,

Nice detective work! Attached please find a patch to allow unqualified domain names.

I further attached an updated patch for '/etc/mailname'. A small warning is issued when 'me' is present, but the file is disregarded---as it says in the man pages. The tests use '/etc/mailname', as well.

Please apply the second patch after the first.

Finally, I added some information to an empty section for nullmailer on the Debian Wiki for '/etc/mailname'. Please edit further if needed. Thank you!

Best regards,

Felix
