Package: exim4 Version: 4.72-6 Severity: normal By default, exim4 adds localhost and the FQDN (or the mailname?) to local domains, but not $HOST (the nodename).
This is a problem because other packages may expect $HOST to be in the local domains. This is the case of monit, which sends mail with, by default: From: monit@$HOST Thus such an address doesn't get rewritten when the mail is transmitted to a different machine. A consequence is that the mail can be blocked because of incorrect domain part. A workaround can be to add $HOST manually via 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config', but the default config should work. -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.72 #1 built 31-Jan-2011 18:42:28 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2007 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages DKIM Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 GnuTLS compile-time version: 2.8.6 GnuTLS runtime version: 2.10.4 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen.
