Hmmm, `dnsdomainname' returns "(none)" here; Does it work for you?
Running `domainname' instead seems to do the right thing though...
It would probably be safest to simply mirror how it's done @
notmuch-config.c:313, but that seems rather excessive.

Agreed, much safer; `grep' might return multiple results.

How about this? :
#+begin_src sh
fallback_name="$(getent passwd ${USER} | cut -d ":" -f 5 | cut -d "," -f 1)"
test -n "${EMAIL}" \
&& fallback_email="${EMAIL}" \
|| fallback_email="${USER}@$(hostname).$(domainname)"
#+end_src
