The problem is that the local hostname is not detected correctly, it should not be "localhost.localdomain". That is broken in the SMTP slave I think. As a workaround, you can go to the settings of the sending and send a custom hostname to the server. Just choose something else there.
You need to configure your machine correctly. If your machine thinks its name is localhost.localdomain, there's not really much we can do.
Isn't there a way to find out your hostname, even if that is not configured correctly locally? Sort of a reverse DNS lookup of your own IP.
Yes, in Linux you have to use the following commands: dig 127.0.0.1 (or the ip you want to know about) (the new command) host 127.0.0.1 (the old command) Normally the local hostname is set also in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost
