I'd recommend putting the fqdn that you want exim to use there.
We are talking about the HELO/EHLO greeting and I an becoming very, very confused. Exim uses /etc/mailname to qualify unqualified mail addresses. As far as I know and observe it does not use /etc/mailname to form the HELO/EHLO. Actually, I don't understand the reference to "dns name" either but am willing to learn. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
