Hmmm I don't want to rely on append_dot_mydomain as that is a user configurable parameter, and seems to default to no.

This could be fixed for most us by changing debian/postfix.postinst to strip the trailing dot if it exists, but the issue will still be exposed to users who manually set the hostname just like how lain mentioned in #15, so it will be more of a bandaid for our use-case.

Why does postfix not like the trailing dot anyways? It seems legal (if not common) to have (I understand this might not be the right area to have this discussion).
