> I want to know if it is possible to send mail without having my hostname.

It is becoming less possible to do so, as many SMTP machines are rejecting  
mail sent without a hostname since so much spam comes through that way.

One solution would be to 'masquerade' your machine as 'jsp.umontreal.ca'.

I can't recall exactly how to do that, you'd probably be best off asking on  
comp.mail.sendmail (if that is what you use) or checkout the archive on  
http://www.sendmail.org/
