Thanks folks for your help.
OK. I have edited: update-exim4.conf.conf
I've removed localhost from dc_other_hostnames.
I've removed 127.0.0.1 from dc_local_interfaces
and I've added a dc_primary_hostname entry.
I'm assuming that some sort of string substitution will occur on restart which will fold these into the exim4.conf.template file and into the drivers in conf.d/*. Is that a safe assumption?
