ok, but in this case all tool like netstat, iptables etc.. assumes
127.0.0.1 as hostname and it's really annoying netstat -lt:
------------------------------
# netstat -lt
tcp 0 0 host.example.com:smtp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 host.example.com:smtp *:* LISTEN
# netstat -ltn
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:smtp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 1.2.3.4:smtp *:* LISTEN
------------------------------
