Bug#275975: exim4-config: update-exim4.conf.conf should define primary_hostname

[Jari Aalto]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal


The problem:

	2004-10-11 13:50:25 1CGxl3-0006LR-H4 ** foo@example.com
	F=<bar@example.net> P=<bar@example.net> R=smarthost
	T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mailer after
	HELO localhost.localdomain: host bongo.cante.net
	[192.168.1.15]: 550 HELO argument does not match calling host

I do not see any way setting the default HELO name in debconf, so I suggest
that that is asked via dialog  (dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config), and by
default the content of /etc/mailname is offered.

Alternatively /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.template could include entry:

        primary_hostname = DEBCONFvisiblenameDEBCONF

I don't know if update-exim4.conf shell script automatically
replaces all debconf 'visiblename' tags, but's that's the idea.
