Re: Mail::Audit, sendmail, and Sys::Hostname: hostname fails in .forward

try testing POSIX::uname to see if it works

use POSIX;
$host = (POSIX::uname())[1];
print "$host\n";

it should try to use POSIX::uname after it tries the hostname command, but before it tries uname and /com/host commands. if that works, and you aren't too concerned about portability to non-POSIX systems, you could just use that instead of Sys::Hostname (it's even a standard module, so you don't have anything extra to install).

sigh `POSIX::uname` works just fine, as does `hostname` and all the others... EXCEPT when called by Mail::Audit in the `mail_filter` script, and then only when `mail_filter` is run by sendmail from the .forward.
