The easiest is running "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and when it
asks
for the "System mail name" make sure it reads
"steinmetz.com". Also
depending on your configuration you get the option of hiding "local mail
name in outgoing mail" which you may like to enable.

You also might want to add smtp.steinmetz.com to "Other destinations for
which mail is accepted". So that email in the format of
example at smtp.steinmetz.com will be accepted.

If it is configured right email directed to @steinmetz.com and
@smtp.steinmetz.com should be accepted, but email sent out will only
have the @steinmetz.com address format.

I hope I didn''t mix up something. ;-)
