How to setup qmail's control/me if behind router with NAT?

My machine sits on a local network behind a router doing NAT. On the local network it has the address 192.168.1.100. I obtained a dynamic DNS address for my router from DynDNS. The router is set up to forward all requests on port 25 to 192.168.1.100.
My question is: what do I put into the file control/me? This comes up because, when I do ./config, I get the error message

>Your hostname is localhost.
>hard error
>Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS.
>You will have to set up control/me yourself.

I have tried all sorts of things like

localhost
192.168.1.100
dyndns-supplied.hostname.net

and nothing works. Would I have to modify any of the other files in the control directory besides me?
