Have a look at /usr/share/quilt/mail:
if [ -z "$opt_sender" ]; then
hostname=nowhere
if [ -e /etc/mailname ] ;
then
hostname=`cat /etc/mailname`
fi
if [ "$hostname" = "${hostname/.}" ]
then
hostname=$(hostname -f 2>/dev/null)
fi
if [ "$hostname" = "${hostname/.}" ]
then
hostname=$(hostname)
fi
opt_sender="${LOGNAME:-$(whoami)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
case "$opt_sender" in
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) ;;
*)
echo $"\
Could not determine the envelope sender address. Please use --sender." >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
fi
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
According to upstream, valid email addresses have a dot in the right part.
use something like foo.com as mailname, not foo alone.
Bye, Mt.

I had a headache just by looking at the data structures of your linear-time

practice. -- Bastard Reviewer From the Hell
