Generally, no.
On a sun it depends if you've set the nodename to be fully qualified or
not (which I would _not_ recommend doing, fully qualified nodenames have
caused me hours of trouble tracking down problems). Generally the FQDN
for my machine is nowhere on my machine ('domain' in /etc/resolv.conf
normally not being supported concurrently with 'search', and 'domain'
also causing some annoying conflicts if you want the search path to
be different from the FQDN).
Common answer - do what exim does to work out out with whatever name
service is in use.
