This is created by debconf. Reading its dialog helps. /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-config.templates contains Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames Type: string Default: Description: Other destinations for which mail is accepted: Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for which this machine should consider itself the final destination. These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname (${fqdn}) and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here. . By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both a.example and b.example are local domains, a...@a.example and a...@b.example will be delivered to the same final destination. If different domain names should be treated differently, it is necessary to edit the config files afterwards. > It contains my hosts name but it calls it other_hostnames.. somewhat > confusing. > > Grepping for some documentation about that line gets no hits. > > grep -rl dc_other_hostname /usr/share/doc/exim* /usr/share/exim* $ zgrep dc_other_hostname /usr/share/doc/exim4/* /usr/share/doc/exim4/changelog.Debian.gz: * Re-Word dc_other_hostnames debconf template. /usr/share/doc/exim4/changelog.Debian.gz: * Special-case "dsearch;" constructs in dc_other_hostnames, no /usr/share/doc/exim4/changelog.Debian.gz: * Fix list separator handling for dc_other_hostnames in ue4c. /usr/share/doc/exim4/changelog.Debian.gz: * fix wrong dc_other_hostnames statement in manpage.
