Hi,
Exim's Debian packages have a configuration option "minimaldns", which
- if activated - hardcodes the output of hostname --fqdn into the
primary_hostname option on package installation time. This was
implemented to have system on an expensive pay-by-connection or
pay-by-minute Internet connection not dial in when exim starts up and
works most of the time.
In some situations, I find the system sending out an AAAA query to the
DNS resolver for the local host name when exim starts up. stracing
exim nailed this down to a gethostbyname2 call with AF_INET6 for the
local host name.
I'd like to know how I can make exim refrain from doing this lookup.
Is this possible from configuration, and why is the lookup done in the
first place?
Any hints will be appreciated.
Greetings
Marc
