Have a look at your /etc/hosts. Exim does a gethostbyaddr(3) to find out
its name, and unlike host(1), it will use /etc/hosts in preference to the
DNS.
Your /etc/hosts should read:
| 127.0.0.1 localhost
| 192.168.0.130 cookiemonster.mupp.net cookiemonster
and then it will work correctly.
However, you've been rather silly in using the 192.168.0.0/24 network,
as RFC1918 suggests that you should pick a random one.
