Package: exim4-config Version: 4.87-3~bpo8+1 Severity: normal Hi,
I have exim4 configured as "mail sent by smarthost; received via smtp or fetchmail". I recently added FQDN to my hostname, so according to Debian reference I edited /etc/hosts like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 myhostname.mydomain.local myhostname and left /etc/hostname like this: myhostname /bin/hostname -f now reports: myhostname.mydomain.local and /bin/hostname now reports: myhostname I ran dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config to configure /etc/mailname as myhostname.mydomain.local, and in facts exim4 correctly qualifyes local user addresses with myhostname.mydomain.local. But it recognizes these addresses as remote and tries to send to configured smarthost instead deliver them locally. dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config at one step says: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 (myhost.mydomain.local) 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, acc@a.example and acc@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. Other destinations for which mail is accepted: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So it says that myhost.mydomain.local will be added to local domains. Bun actually local hostname is in local domains list as @, and @ is expanded with uname(), that collects only myhostname part, so exim4 does not recognize myhost.mydomain.local (which is used to fully qualify local/incomplete addresses) as local delivery. A workaround is to specify myhost.mydomain.local into the list queried in above step, but something is misleading (I dont't know if it is message during dpkg-reconfigure, @ expansion or something in system configuration).
