For me the installation of libnss-myhostname as a Recommends of
gnome-control-center broke local mail delivery to a smart host using
aliases in /etc/aliases and exim. Purging libnss-myhostname fixes the
problem.

Interesting is that the position of myhostname in the following

~$ grep myhostname /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:          files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
~$

contradicts the recommendation in /usr/share/doc/libnss-myhostname/README.gz:

   It is recommended to put myhostname last in the nsswitch.conf line to
   make sure that this mapping is only used as fallback, and any DNS or
   /etc/hosts based mapping takes precedence.

Regards,
Felix
