Package: exim4-config Version: 4.50-8 Severity: important Minimaldns does not work if no FQDN is configured in /etc/hosts.
Minimaldns is implemented by hardcoding the output of hostname --fqdn to the global primary_hostname configuration option at the time where update-exim4.conf is executed. However, this only happens when the output of hostname --fqdn contains at least one dot. If there is no dot in hostname --fqdn's output, primary_hostname silently remains unset even if the minimaldns config option is set, which causes DNS lookups to occur on exim startup. update-exim4.conf should print a warning if minimaldns is requested but hostname --fqdn does not print an FQDN. Lothar Ketterer spotted this and was very helpful in pinning down the issue as I was seriously confused during the debugging process.
