FreeBSD's hostname(1) prints name of current host system, including
domain name.  Hostname(1) on Linux systems which is a part of net-tools
package needs --fqdn option to do the same.  I propose to add this to
the code on DNS-OARC.

if [ `uname` = Linux ]; then
	FROM=`hostname --fqdn` 
else
	FROM=`hostname`
fi
