yes:

# grep Hostname /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf
# definition of "Hostname" for an example.
# Hostname = the %org-name% ($HOSTNAME) MailScanner
#Hostname = the %org-name% ($HOSTNAME) MailScanner
Hostname = the %org-name% MailScanner (on $HOSTNAME)

And HOSTNAME cones out as blank.  %hostname% does not work either.
