This is an RN-ism.  Its default action is to take the one-word host
name returned by the gethostname() call or contained in /etc/systemid,
and tack .UUCP onto that.  You have to either configure in your
proper domain suffix when you build RN from source, or set up environment
variables to override the default and supply the correct name.  Many
sites and users seem unaware of this or unwilling to take the time.
