I never thought or noticed that setting primary_hostname would cause such big trouble (provided it''s set to something sensible). Do you have any further pointers? -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren@lysator.liu.se (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Do you have any > further pointers?Setting primary_hostname is making exim behave. It doesn''t solve the problem of the local host being misconfigured which causes trouble in other software as well. It is better to fix the misconfiguration of the _system_ than tweaking _one_ app to work around that _system_ misconfiguration.
