+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; If neither sendmail nor Emacs knows what host address to use
+;; for this machine, ask for it, and save it in site-start.el
+;; so we won't have to ask again.
+
+;; This uses a heuristic about the output from sendmail
+;; which may or may not really work.  We will have to find
+;; out by experiment.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(or mail-host-address
+    (let (sendmail-configured)
+      (with-temp-buffer " mail-host-address"
+	(call-process sendmail-program nil t nil "-bv" "root")
