Comment (by pierre):
It's used in both. My concern is that the users may not be aware they
would have to set that name, because it is hidden in a submenu. It is not
fair to check and come back with a message "you forgot to set the domain
name" or so, if the user has not even seen that the domain name needed to
be edited. And silently ignoring the name if not set is maybe worse.
I plan to add help about that (and the hostname), with references to the
RFC's. But for me "local" seems to be a sane default. It may be a problem
when the network uses active directory, but in this case, the user is in a
corporation or institution, and should have received instructions about
host- and domain- names. I'll make clear in the help that the names used
should be as given by the person in charge of the network (note that if
the user ''is'' the person in charge of the network, they should know what
they are doing).
