I  am  aware that gethostname/hostname will return the nodename. What is
strange for me that in previous version (or maybe  configuration  diffe-
rence)  MSG uses local name obtained from imta.cnf in MTA report.

I try to gain the same result but I fail.

To  preserve  nodename  and fqdn in MTA report I put the logical-fqdn in
second place in /etc/hosts.
