Hostname

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Right, I understand you now.

 From the next release, you will be able to put in, for example,
    $HOSTNAME
or
    ${HOSTNAME}
and it will be looked up in the shell environment variables and replaced
as necessary.
This applies to the main conf files. It cannot apply to the reports as I
already use "$" variables there for other things.

You can even use them in %variable% definitions, so you can do
SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir = $HOME/.spamassassin
or
%sa-local-dir% = $HOME/.spamassassin
SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir = %sa-local-dir%

Anyone want me to put out a new beta so you can try all this stuff?
