dc_visiblename from /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf does not seem to be used at all anymore and is most probably a leftover from an older package version. Currently, the DEBCONFvisiblenameDEBCONF macro in the configuration is populated from the /etc/mailname file, which is created - if it doesn't already exist - on package installation. In the configuration, that macro is only used to qualify unqualified addresses. dc_readhost is the name of the machine where the users normally read their mail, and that one is only used in satellite setups ("no local mail") to take care of mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which should be sent to the smarthost as well. That being said, I do not understand the bug report. DC_visiblename is set to the value of /etc/mailname and has nothing to do with dc_readhost (at least what I see from the code, which I didn't write and don't claim to fully understand). Please substantiate the bug report with evidence or give examples how the documentation could be improved, or close the bug if I have convinced you of the non-bug characteristic of your report.
