Public bug reported:
Since installing Ubuntu 11.10 on my system, apticron has stopped using
the hostname in its e-mails and instead is using one of the in-addr.arpa
records instead. (The mail claims to come from
219.117.251.198.static.zoot.jp rather than t2.dyadic.cynic.net; the
later is the contents of the /etc/hostname file and also the address
given for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts. Note that I am in the common case
that I have no control over the in-addr.arpa record, as it is delegated
to my ISP, not to me. I do potentially have control over the records for
other interfaces on the system; it's not clear to me why it would choose
this one.)
Apticron should go back to using the canonical hostname from /etc/hosts,
rather than picking presumably a random interface and looking up a DNS
record from that that may not even be set by the system admin.
