Great, this helped!

I now have:

alexander@blatt ~ $ grep -v \# /etc/hosts | grep -v '^$'
127.0.0.1       blatt.bei.digitalprojects.com   blatt
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
213.133.109.44  new.email-server.info

And:

alexander@blatt ~ $ hostname -d
bei.digitalprojects.com

But I'd still like to know what /etc/conf.d/domainname does... Or rather: Is
supposed to do :)
