Package: exim4
Version: 4.68-1
Severity: important
As shown by strace, exim4 reads /etc/exim4/exim4.conf instead of
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated (Exim's main configuration file
according to the update-exim4.conf(8) man page, referenced by the
exim4-config_files(5) man page), leading to incorrect configuration
(and bad address qualification). Indeed my mail name is
vin.lip.ens-lyon.fr, but due to this problem, I get:
vin:~> exim -bP | grep '^qualify'
qualify_domain = vin.ens-lyon.fr
qualify_recipient = vin.ens-lyon.fr
These values come from the file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf (I don't know why
it is there: it has the date 2006-10-03 16:08:55 -- I think this is when
I installed the machine).
A "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" didn't change anything.

This is not a bug, it is a documented feature.
| On the other hand if you don’t want to manage exim4.conf with debconf
| install your own handcrafted version as /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.
| Exim will use this file if it exists and ignore the autogenerated one.
None of the Debian exim4 packages that were actually uploaded to the
main ftp archive have ever generated a /etc/exim4/exim4.conf file, so
if you got one, you either have generated it manually, or had
something else installed that generated it.
