Greetings,

playing around with installing exim4 for mutt 1.5, I am unable to
find out how to rectify this problem:

exim4 -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the output includes the error message: SMTP<< EHLO SMTP<< 501 5.0.0
EHLO requires domain address

Does your machine have an entry for itself in /etc/hosts ?  If so, try
making sure that the fqdn is the first entry listed for the machine.

That is the solution. It took me hours to figure out that it the order of the
names in /etc/hosts made such an enormous difference. to whether exim worked.
