Here are some related things:
[davyd at mussel ~]$ hostname -f    < mussel doesn't know
mussel                           < it's FQDN

[davyd at mussel ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
# should read: 127.0.0.1 mussel.u.g.u.e.a mussel localhost

[davyd at mussel ~]$ cat /etc/mailname
mussel
# should read mussel.u.g.u.e.a

[davyd at mussel ~]$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep myhostname
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
myhostname = mussel
# same

You shouldn't need to set any muttrc hostname if you have these set
appropriately.
