Hmmm.  Net::Domain (in the libnet I have) can be configured to return a
domain name instead of trying to intuit it from the system.  Edit
Net/Config.pm and change inet_domain.  That should at least fix the
Majordomo problem.

Net::Domain tries to get the name from /etc/resolv.conf, then it calls
getdomainname, then it does some reverse name lookups on the hostname, then
it looks in $ENV{DOMAIN} and $ENV{LOCALDOMAIN} although once we finish
hacking on the wrappers a bit those variables won't exist.

Solaris is free these days, so if you really need media, you should be able
to get it.

For the workaround, just set addr_require_fqdn to 0 and never worry about
using -u again.
