Hopefully with an MUA, not Exim.
If so, your upstream ISP will replace that or add to it, such that you
appear to be hitting the MTA as, for example:
bzq-80-16-113.red.bezeqint.net ([82.80.16.113] helo=[192.168.0.80])
- as you appeared in this message.
or as:
69-170-39-40.chvlva.adelphia.net ([69.170.39.40]:49513)
- as I (presently) appear in my posting, though the 'hostname' on my Mac
is simply 'pb'.
If you want to run Exim, or any other MTA, on a PC (very bad idea) you
should have:
- a fixed IP
- a registered 'real' domain.tld,
- a complete DNS entry, including rDNS PTR record
that are published to the world at large.
Even if you have control of an authoritative DNS, few ISP's will support
a fixed IP and a PTR record on a 'residential' or SOHO subscription.
Without these, most properly configured MTA's may (should) reject your
traffic, as it will look exactly spam-worms from a zombified WinBox.
MTA's are for servers, even if only one-user-per-domain, and the DNS and
such is every bit as important as the code.
Otherwise, most MUA's can do everything 'mailish' that a PC user, or
'family' sharing same needs, including supporting mailing lists, spam
filtering, multiple e-mail ID's, etc.
Horses for courses, IOW.
