In my lab, it looks like a "Yes" to the "hide mailname" question is not written to update-exim4.conf.conf on initial package installation. When one dpkg-reconfigures exim4-config and answers "yes" again on this question, the configuration is processed correctly. Good catch, Ross, thanks. I suspect that in the case for step 25 in exim4-config.config, we don't properly initialize dc_hide_mailnameif update-exim4.conf.conf does not yet exist. We should thereforeg have kind of hard-coded default values for ue4cc values that should be used if neither ue4cc nor /etc/exim/exim.conf exists on the system. The natural place to put them is right in front of the "if [ -e $UE4CC" in exim4-config.config line 247. Andreas, can you please check and confirm this as I still do not fully grasp the complicated debconf code that drives our configuration.
