I believe that exim will, by default, report the first entry in your /etc/hosts file. So if you have 155.22.33.44 booger yoda www.sticky.net I believe exim will report the machine as booger. Just move the FQDN into the first slot and you should be fine. My understanding is that exim's primary_hostname setting is considered a kludge and that it's "better" to use the above method. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
