Q: From line and domain name

Dear netters,

I have the following problem with ELM (PL23) on my SCO machine:

Whenever I send a message outside of my domain the "From: " line
contains the following contents:
        "Th. Bullinger" <mrbulli@btoy1>

My full address is "mrbulli@btoy1.rochester.NY.US" - so the domain name
is missing. I compiled elm with the hostname builtin, I checked that
config.h contains the correct values (and it does) - but still ...

The configuration is MMDF as MTA (i.e. /usr/lib/execmail as mailer) and
connection to the outside via UUCP. BTW, using the standard mail/mailx
as interface produces the correct "From: " line.

Any ideas?
