What is the output of hostname?  That's what should get appended when
you do things like "echo testing | mail -s test someone at example.com"

The mail command will drop the mail to the MTA running on the host and
that may need to be configured to append the domain or hostname.  I
use postfix on my systems and appending the hostname is the default,
though it's quite simple to change that to append just the domain.
