psyche@/home/zeisberg # /opt/sbin/cfagent -d -j classes -q -v | grep -i fully
Fully qualified hostname is: psyche.informatik.uni-freiburg.de

for me, it looks sane, too. With version 2.1.6 I wrote VFQNAME to syslog
with the message "Cannot mail to %s", and there was definitly only the
hostname without domain stored in VFQNAME. Even if cfagent -q -v told,
that it adds class psyche_informatik_uni_freiburg_de

I compare the output of the following commands on a host, which fails to
send mail, with one, that succeeds:

- domainname
- hostname
- cat /etc/resolv.conf

Even hosts, which are installed at the same time by the same Jumpstart,
don't behave equal.

Uwe
