Sorry about that, the alternatives are the current settings,
unmoderated, or moderated. Unmoderated just turns the list into a spam
amplifier, and moderation makes me wade through spam every day :-(.

send host-name "<name>" is the way to do it. The sample dhclient script
from ISC seems to set this to the value of `hostname`. I have no easy
way to tell if Ubunutu does the same. If it doesn't it might be worth
filing a bug.
