No, I did not choose the hostname for my laptop. The COSC programmers choose it for me. I'll ask them to change it, but doubt they consider it a real prority.
But if it isn't set up properly, then the COSC programmers will BLOCK the mail :-) Our DNS handles the '_' -- The client host address should not go outside cosc ... These new academics :-) (Cause a lot of trouble :-)
Yes my machine does do stuff with mail. I run exim to send queued messages from Pine, and to deliver local messages that I get using fetchmail. Does that make me a mailhost? I have no idea.
