Hostname

[Jason Huddleston]

Evedentally MailScanner does picks up everything as a string and does not
execute any code that is put in the config file. When I set the following:

Hostname = the %org-name% ($ENV{'hostname'}) MailScanner


MailScanner returns the template as:

Note to Help Desk: Look on the OTC ($ENV{'hostname'}) MailScanner in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20050307 (message j27KTWVi016814).

In Redhat EL 3.0 there is $HOSTNAME set.
Unsure how MS would pull an Environment variable.

I believe perl pulls them like such.

     $ENV{HOSTNAME};

So yours might look like... Hostname = the %org-name% ($ENV{'hostname'})
MailScanner later in
This is untested.

Give it a try..
