[Bug 412676] [NEW] email should be sent via localhost, not the hostname

[Chris Jones]

Public bug reported:

ServletUtils.java seems to determine the host to connect to to send
email with:

mailHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();

which (AFAIKS) returns the equivalent of /etc/hostname, which may not
necessarily resolve to a 127.0.0.0/8 address. In doing so Eucalyptus may
end up talking to the LAN/public IP of the machine for SMTP, which will
result in relaying being denied in a default Ubuntu postfix install.

Is there any reaosn for not using "localhost"?
