The system name should not be used to build the domain part of the sender address. The system name and the TCP/IP domain name are two different things.

Presumably, on the OP's system they happen to contain the same value, and therefore appear to be the same. And I guess it'll work if you are sure it'll only be used on your system -- and you're sure that your system will always have the system name and the domain name set to the same value. (Though, I'd say it's misleading at the very least. you may as well hard-code the domain name in your code!)

But the OP said it was part of a freeware or open source toolkit. In that case, this is definitely not a good assumption to make.

They are just using it to build something to use in the email -
apparently they have a tight coupling of these items and trust it. Right
or wrong? Maybe now they'll know about that API.
