Comment (by lonnylot):

 dd32,

 I do not think it is about what the majority of WordPress users
 expect/host supports. I am not trying to open up a can of worms, but if it
 was about what users expect/host supports than we wouldn't have WordPress
 default to wordpress at hostname.com for things like the registration e-mail.

 Sending an e-mail from wordpress at hostname.com is no more user friendly
 than sending it from wordpress at www.hostname.com or removing all subdomains
 by default and always sending it from wordpress at hostname.com.

 Again, I'm not trying to open this discussion up to that particular
 discussion. I am just trying to make a point that the handling isn't
 related to what users expect/hosts support.

 Just Googling around it seems the amount of issues that people have with
 e-mails being rejected from the receiver are fairly high. The more I think
 about this I would rather do nothing with the hostname ($_SERVER[
 'SERVER_NAME' ]) than do something random.

 I just wanted to give my 2 cents on this. Thanks for taking the time to
 review this bug. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions on
 implementation or anything you would like me to create anything such as a
 patch.
