Bug#482339: HELO and hostname

Hi,

we've received a bug report in the Debian Bug Tracker:
http://bugs.debian.org/482339

Summary:
HELO uses the host name returned by hostname() which tends to break
because mail servers tend to expect a FQDN.
hostname_long() from Sys::Hostname::Long might be a better idea.

Find attached a patch I've prepared for the Debian package.

Cheers,
gregor
