What does this line refer to

In /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
This is created by debconf. Reading its dialog helps.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-config.templates contains
Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames
Type: string
Default:
Description: Other destinations for which mail is accepted:
Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for
which this machine should consider itself the final destination.
These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname
(${fqdn}) and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here.
.
By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both
a.example and b.example are local domains, a...@a.example and
a...@b.example will be delivered to the same final destination. If
different domain names should be treated differently, it is
necessary to edit the config files afterwards.
It contains my hosts name but it calls it other_hostnames.. somewhat
confusing.
Grepping for some documentation about that line gets no hits.
