Package: exim4 I'm unable to dynamically redefine primary_hostname at runtime because the weird "OSTNAME" string is appended at the end:
# exim -bP primary_hostname primary_hostname = mail.isvtec.com # exim -DMAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME=foo.com -bP primary_hostname primary_hostname = foo.comOSTNAME # It happens on any stand Debian/Exim configuration. If I replace MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME by RANDOM_STRING in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated (or exim.conf), it works as expected: # sed -i -e s/MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME/RANDOM_STRING/ /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # exim -DRANDOM_STRING=foo.com -bP primary_hostname primary_hostname = foo.com # Would it be possible to fix this macro expansion?
