Please note there are other 'basic networking type apps (which is what I consider email/postfix)' that break without FQDN I just cannot remember the details since at the time I was more concerned with getting my network behaving and I thought libnss-myhostname was a fringe project that sounded good but wasn't worth pursuing or spending time on because of the issues that became readily apparent. I guess it's not as fringe as I thought and should have filed bug reports then.
