25;;; Commentary:
26
27;; If neither sendmail nor Emacs knows what host address to use
28;; for this machine, ask for it, and save it in site-start.el
29;; so we won't have to ask again.
30
31;; This uses a heuristic about the output from sendmail
32;; which may or may not really work. We will have to find
33;; out by experiment.

35;;; Code:

37(or mail-host-address
38 (let (sendmail-configured)
39 (with-temp-buffer " mail-host-address"
40 (call-process sendmail-program nil t nil "-bv" "root")

46 (read-string "Specify your host's fully qualified domain name: ")))
47 ;; Create an init file, and if we just read mail-host-address,
48 ;; make the init file set it.
