Sluggers!

My humble home desktop machine goes by the name 'artarmon' (I like the place).

I just had a posting rejected from a list at sourceforge, with the
explanation that they want to see a dot in my hostname.

I've since renamed the machine artarmon.net, and the message now seems to
have reached the list. 

Just the same looking through the mail headers of pfaedit-users, I notice
that most emails originate on machines named 'localhost' or some other
single-word hostname, without dots.

Any ideas?
