Package: tiger
Version: 1:3.2.3-10
Severity: minor

The default config contains a section to set the From:-address to be
used for e-mail reports:

# Who sends output from 'tigercron'?
# Default is "root@$HOSTNAME" (gets expanded by tigercron)
#
# Tiger_Mail_FROM="root@`uname -n`"

The output of 'uname -n' is just the hostname, not the FQDN, on all my
systems, which results in an unqualified domain name in the From:-field
of tiger’s email-reports. This triggers rules in spamscanners or even
sanity checks in certain MTA-configurations.

IMHO the default should contain the FQDN (maybe by use of `hostname -f`)
or leave it to the MTA to qualify the address by setting only "root".

Thanks for consideration and best regards

Hendrik
