You want to have one of the following items;
1. You either want "uname -n" to return the correct fqdn name for
you.
2. If uname does not return a fqdn, exim will use gethostbyname
which will return the first entry in the host file.
3. or set primary_hostname in exim.conf file, it needs to be in
there early as part of the core configuration.
Good luck,
Tim

Subject: [exim] (host) incorrectly presented itself as....
Hello,
A quick problem with how my box identifies itself to remote servers
(wrong). Here is a quick example.
192.111.111.1 - hub.mydomain.com (1st ip on box)
192.111.111.2 - smtp.mydomain.com (exim)
Exim is configured to listen on 192.111.111.2 with:
local_interfaces = 192.111.111.2 : 127.0.0.1
Watching the mailog on a remote server, my server still presents itself
as hub.mydomain.com, yet I elho smtp.mydomain.com. This gives the
warning:
* Remote host 192.111.111.1 (hub.mydomain.com) incorrectly presented
itself as smtp.mydomain.com. *
Is there some other configuration option I need to set to exclusivity
use smtp.mydomain.com?
Thanks,
-J
