I'd expect to see something like <hostname>.wibble.three.com etc., the
reason why I ask is because Evolution likes to have a FQDN when posting
to news via leafnode which I use on my laptop. If there's no FQDN or an
invalid one, leafnode refuses to accept any posts. 

This is only a problem when away from home. When at home I do have a
proper FQDN from my router.
