I suggest rewording that to

FQDN=1

The current wording led me to believe that the sender, and perhaps
recipient (if otherwise unqualified) of the emails generated by
logcheck would be fully qualified.  This is not the case, and from
inspecting the code this setting seems to affect only the text of
subject lines and some debug lines.

Probably the usage note
 -H HOST      = use this hostname for the mail
should be
 -H HOST      = use this hostname in the mail's subject line
with similar change to the man page.

# Should the hostname in the subject of the generated mails be fully qualified?

The usage summary now reads:

-H HOST      = use this hostname in the subject of any generated mail

The explanation of the FQDN option now reads:



The manpage for logcheck now reads:

"-H Use this hostname string in the subject of logcheck mail."

Thanks for your bug report,
