I wonder if anyone else has the same wish I do:
sendmail doesn't give you access (in sendmail.cf) to the machine's
hostname as set by /bin/hostname (4.3-oid systems). (For clarity I'll
call that the /bin/hostname; it's really what gethostname() returns.)
The $w macro is set from the canonicalized hostname (h_name in the
hostent structure returned by gethostbyname() ).
I would like to use our /bin/hostname (ogicse) in UUCP sender rewrites
(the usual prepend the local machine name). I don't want to have to
add a machine-specific user-defined macro for our UUCP name (but you
know I will).
Does IDA by any chance have a pre-defined macro for the /bin/hostname,
or better yet, for the machine's UUCP name, however set? (4.3-oid
UUCP usually uses the /bin/hostname; some others do not.)
Or has anyone else wanted access to the /bin/hostname in sendmail.cf?
I'd like to add a pre-defined macro for that; I hesitate only because
of the resulting non-standardness.

PS. All instances of "ogc" are about to be changed to "ogi" because it
will eliminate confusion about what a "Center" is or is not. Sure.
