hostname
--------

   Type: string
   Default: (unset)

   hostname is used as the domain part of the email address slrn puts in
   your ``From:'' header, so it should be set to just that. This may or
   may not be the hostname of the machine slrn is running on, depending
   on whether you have an email account on that machine and whether you
   want to use it for your usenet postings.

   Please see the entry [130]$HOSTNAME for a discussion of slrn's default
   behaviour if this variable is unset.

   Note: In each case, slrn either uses the information you set in
   posting_host or returned by gethostbyname(3) to generate its
   Message-Ids, so their domain part is not influenced by the value of
   this variable.
