Reading the documentation solves the issue. > Couldn't something be done to try to prevent this situation?

If the value of /etc/mailname does not end up in the list of local domains, it was deliberately removed from that list by the local admin during initial exim4 configuration. > Either automatically and silently (any downside to this?) Yesm, see #244095, #280207, and a truckload of other bugreports from that era. > or at least make it the default value in the debconf question about > local domains. It actually is the default value in the debconf question about local domains since one and a half years. Please substantiate your request.
