Don't do this as nothing out there looks for it. You should set myhostname to the machine name and leave it as that. SMTP protocol requires "220 <machine-name>", with an optional ESMTP added to show extra function. I know of no software or protocol that actually cares what the machine name is. You really don't gain anything but headaches trying what you mentioned.
