/etc/defaultdomain is for NIS and has nothing to do for the problem

Not sure how/if /etc/networks is involved. Perhaps /etc/hosts should
contain riverside.NoKnoppix.Please although I tend to think that it
shouldn't. Basically the problem is how to set the FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name) of the machine for the MTA purposes. What does
/etc/resolv.conf has? What /etc/exim*, or the equivalent for your MTA,
has?
