Much as we need a solution that will help postfix pick a domain name
(since it needs one) that is most likely to be right by default, the
solution is not to force FQDN hostnames.

I have several machines that have a hostname, and several FQDNs - the
same host part in different domains, one per interface address.

What I think we need, though I haven't yet thought about a nice way to
achieve it, is for postfix to be able to use something like .local as
$mydomain, if nothing else like DNS or DHCP or more direct
configuration has told it anything better.
