That can't be quite right. On my system, i don't have primary_hostname
set, and:

derek@casio:~$ uname -n
casio
derek@casio:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to casio.othello.domain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 casio.othello.domain ESMTP Exim 3.32 #1 Fri, 04 Jan 2002 13:49:26 -0500

However, /etc/hosts contains:

    127.0.0.1       casio.othello.domain localhost  casio


specifically because I used to list localhost first, and SMTP responded
with localhost (and I hadn't noted the existence of $primary_hostname).
