I don't have any domainname set behind my router, just hostnames. So exim says "hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name, dc_minimaldns will not work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup." which I ignore as it appears to have no effect both at home and in motels etc. mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail (sets dc_eximconfig_configtype) foo (my hostname, sets /etc/mailname) smtp.xxx.xxx.xxx::25025;smtp.yyy.yyy (smarthosts, sets dc_smarthost) yes (hide local mailname, sets c_hide_mailname) xxx.xxx.xxx (visible domainname, sets dc_readhost) Those are the non-default responses you should need. xxx.xxx.xxx is the domainname I use, and I need 25025 because the good people at yyy.yyy block port 25 etc. yyy.yyy is my ISP. The only other addition is in /etc/exim4/passwd.client which has the line smtp.xxx.xxx.xxx:email-address:mypassword where the email-address and mypassword is one of any number I can set up with my domainnamehost. yyy.yyy doesn't require me to authenticate because there's cable from here to there.
