For what it's worth. There is a function

int
getmailname(char *hostname, size_t len)

in src/usr.sbin/smtpd/util.c[1] which seems to do what you are looking
for. It will canonicalize the hostname returned by gethostname(3) only
if the domain part is missing (no dot) and does not iterate over the
resolution result returned by getaddrinfo(3). It takes the hostname from
/etc/mail/mailname verbatim, without performing any canonicalization
whatsoever.

Then there is

-a file
    Attach the given file to the message.[2]

and

-a
    Specify additional header fields on the command line...[3]


Good luck.
