               Can't be your hostname!
If your host/network is well configured the output of
$ hostname
might be correct.
If so try:
set hostname=`hostname -f`
which set the output of hostname -f in linuxsytems.
Otherwise try:
set hostname=`hostname`.domain.name
where domain.name is your local domain.

Ålso check the manual for "set envelope"
