Yes, $hostname should be removed IMHO, since the documented behaviour
is incorrect:
3.78. hostname
Type: string
Default: ""
Specifies the hostname to use after the ``@'' in local e-mail
addresses. This overrides the compile time definition obtained from
/etc/resolv.conf.
Using the compile time definition is very silly! This breaks any
(binary) packaging system. The FQDN should be obtained at run time.
