Subject: Fixed Re: [Exim] how do you override default helo
Thanks to everyone who responed so quickly...

I've take your advice, and found hoe to add the primary_hostname= foo
line to my setup. (exim 4 is not as simple to modify as exim 3..
atleast not if installed from .deb binaries) But it now works

Thanks
Dean
