Summary: check_smtp 1.4.6 local host name never added to helo command

Initial Comment:
It looks like there were some changes between 1.4.5 and 1.4.6 where:

1) the command line option to specify the local host name of the helo command was removed.

and

2) The code that tries to figure out the local host name changed slightly.

subsequently, The local host name is always null (running the plug-in from the command line with the -v option verifies this). This is fine for normal smtp checks, but it causes TLS checks to fail. sendmail (8.14) complains about an invalid domain name and doesn't send back a list of available services like the plug-in is expecting, hence the TLS check returns a warning.

I have attached a patch that should fix the problem.
