I can see why you'd set either hostname or hidden_host, but setting
both at once seems like avoiding the real issue which is that setting
hostname has this extra, undocumented side-effect of changing the
Message-IDs. But I'll drop this now -- I'm using my patch so I get
my Message-IDs how I want regardless of hostname ;)
