looks like a missconfiguration of your hostsystem for me. What does

(faui03) [/var/tmp/cfengine-2.1.8] /var/cfengine/bin/cfagent -d -j classes -q 
-v 2> /dev/null | grep -i 'fully qualified'
Fully qualified hostname is: faui03.informatik.uni-erlangen.de

say for you?

see at src/cfexecd.c line 775 (MailResult) for me it looks sane:

sprintf(VBUFF,"From: address@hidden",VFQNAME);
sprintf(VBUFF,"MAIL FROM: <address@hidden>\r\n",VFQNAME);

of course VFQNAME in cfagent and cfexecd could be different, but I don't
believe so. But if the above command gives you also the FQDN than you
can add some extra code to src/cfexecd.c to verify it.
