I just checked and I have this format on my desktop.  This was also done 
through the old installer, so it's not a new/old installer issue.  I believe 
it's a DHCP related issue as that's the one major networking difference 
between my mail servers and my desktop.

I still don't think this is what caused your Postfix problem.  That was 
myhostname in main.cf.
