Why 8.10? It's not LTS and 9.04 was actually pretty good. 9.10 (second
upgrade attempt) is now working so far, though more testing is needed.

I don't know either, but if you find out tell me and the list. I have
that problem, intermittently, on 1 Hardy machine. All of the other
machines I have nullmailer on seem fine.
Since you mention it in conjunction with nullmailer, I suspect a
nullmailer bug rather than a hostname issue. Here are my config files:
$ head -9999 /etc/nullmailer/*
==> /etc/nullmailer/adminaddr <==
jp@...org
==> /etc/nullmailer/pausetime <==
3600
==> /etc/nullmailer/remotes <==
mail...org
~~~~~~~
The pausetime cuts down on the email flood when a laptop is in use but
disconnected from the 'Net, so it can't send email and whines about it.
Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
