Ah. Our DNS entries have a fully-qualified localhost.
Actually, it has been pointed out to me that I lied before. If you
specify a non-wild card name in recipients_unqualified then the DNS
lookup happens forwards at daemon start time, and the match is then done
on the IP address. So it's all rather complicated.
