The bit after the second '.' should be from the POSIX gethostname() as
this is short, but unique in an NFS LAN context.  (Replace / with \057
and : with \072.  Also be mindful to replace ' ' with \040 to address
bug #446161.)

The file name and UIDL are longer than they need to be to be unique.
I think that this is a waste of resources.

e.g. dovecot indeed seems to use the unqualified hostname instead of
the FQDN for the last part of name.

Personally I do not have a strong opinion on this, I would just like
an answer (will change / should be changed - please report a bug /
current behavior is fine, we will keep it).
