You're right about hostname.domain not necessarily being a host's 
domain address (not enough sleep).  I think your idea of a 
command that allows you to add hostname aliases would be a good 
compromise (one of the aliases can be given a "preferred" status, 
i.e., the one that goes on the From: line).  It would be ideal 
for systems that are known not only by more than one hostname but 
for systems that are known by more than one domain name (e.g., a 
mail gateway).  

Thanks.
