[exim] SMTP AUTH

Hi,

new to the list, please excuse me if this has been handled before.

When exim connects to my ISPs mailserver mailout.telia.com, it replies that
its name is pne-smtpout1.glb.skanova.net
Checking the nameserver confirms that mailout is just an alias for the
longer name.

Entering mailout.telia.com:user:password results in a failed connection,
changing to the alias works.

Shouldn't exim be ablie to connect using both the alias and the real
mailserver name?

The version is exim 4.69, from debian unstable
