[PATCH] git-send-email.perl - Fix 550 EHLO argument does not match calling host

From

Add new function maildomain() which returns FQDN for use in send_message(). The value is passed to Net::SMTP HELO/EHLO handshake.

The default value in Net::SMTP may not get through:
  Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x267ec28)>>> EHLO localhost.localdomain
  Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x267ec28)<<< 550 EHLO argument does not match calling host
whereas using the FQDN, the result is:
  Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x15b8e80)>>> EHLO host.example.com
  Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x15b8e80)<<< 250-host.example.com Hello host.example.com [192.168.1.7]
