Public bug reported:

http://wiki.debian.org/EtcMailName seems to indicate that /etc/mailname
should be the hostname to use on outgoing news and mail messages.
Running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config (after manually editting the
/etc/mailname to be a FQDN), the "System mail name" was still
"localhost.localdomain".

OK, no biggie, I typed the contents of /etc/mailname into the System
mail name, and left "Other destinations for which mail is accepted" as
empty.

With this configuration, though, exim4 didn't realize that it was the
mailserver for /etc/mailname.

Only after I changed the "Other destinations for which mail is accepted"
to ALSO include the /etc/mailname contents did exim4 believe it was the
mailserver for my  FQDN.
