New Revision: 269550
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/269550

Log:
  Check gethostname(2) return code - but even if it succeeds it may not
  null terminate.
  
  Temporarily use "From: $user@$hostname" rather than "From: $user".
  The latter exposes incompatible behavior if using dma(8).  sendmail(8)
  (and other alternatives) canonify either form on submission (even
  if masquerading), but dma will leak a non-compliant address to
  the internet.
