Bug#869871: exim4-config: /etc/mailname is ignored

Thu Jul 27 09:20:32 UTC 2017

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.89-2+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after a fresh install of exim4 on debian stretch, and moving our old
configuration, I found out that mail to unqualified adresses is sent
to user@`hostname -f` instead of user@`cat /etc/mailname`. Just as if
MAIN_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME_AS_QUALIFY_DOMAIN was set.

I have entered the mailname using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, and
it is properly set in /etc/mailname and also in
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated:

.ifndef ETC_MAILNAME
ETC_MAILNAME=dopis.cz
.endif

...

.ifndef MAIN_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME_AS_QUALIFY_DOMAIN
.ifndef MAIN_QUALIFY_DOMAIN
qualify_domain = ETC_MAILNAME
.else
qualify_domain = MAIN_QUALIFY_DOMAIN
.endif
.endif

There are no other declarations of
MAIN_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME_AS_QUALIFY_DOMAIN, MAIN_QUALIFY_DOMAIN and
ETC_MAILNAME

I even tried to set MAIN_QUALIFY_DOMAIN, and it did not help either.
Please, look at it and suggest a fix or at least a workaround.

Best Regards
Vladislav Kurz
