Yes, looks like those gethostbyname() require some investigations here...
I'll have a look and provide my "findings" here.

In the meantime, I don't really like the idea of messing with a general purpose function, my_hostdomain(), just to avoid a local problem...
Wouldn't you have a better idea? ;-)

And, BTW, imap processes may hang as well, for the same underlying causes.
It is just a matter of selecting INBOX (up to now, I just performed a login/logout sequence).

TIA,
