Setting the from to be host@mit.edu or daemon@mit.edu (as a result of stripping the instance off the principal host/foo.mit.edu) is not terrible, but also not great. Note that sanity checking this is harder than you think. We can't just look them up in Hesiod, because `daemon` has a passwd entry. It's possible that the right thing to do here is to see if the instance looks like a hostname, and if so, set the from to root@hostname. Or whine at the user on STDERR." defect new low The Distant Future --
