I saw that in the docs somewhere. I thought it looked useful, but I had no
idea how to use it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I've also tried running eximconfig and
selecting local system (mail is sent and recieved only locally). This
doesn't work either. This is making me quite suspicious: maybe something
else is broken. Is it possible exim doesn't like my machine name
("Caliban") starting with a capital?
