| 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

|
| 127.0.0.1 casio.othello.domain localhost casio
|

Good point here. In my /etc/hosts I too had localhost listed first
(and no domain given for the real name). Now I have put the
fully-qualified name first. We'll see what happens next time :-).
(still, though, I'd like to see at least one of exim's SMTP sessions
so I can see it for myself)
