- I don't recommend this. You can try HIDDENDOMAIN or HIDDENNET or MAILNAME
- to control the domain name on outbound mail. But don't use DEFAULT_DOMAIN.
- The DEFAULT_DOMAIN is mainly for hosts who don't have access to a
- nameserver, and must depend on an /etc/hosts lookup to qualify host
- names. Often this leaves local hostnames unqualified, so DEFAULT_DOMAIN
- is appended in an attempt to provide a fully qualified name.
