No, and as I said in my recent experiment, I was surprised that exim4
worked in a different configuration.  Perhaps my real complaint is
misleading wording in the templates file.

The way the bit that is used for /etc/mailname is written, it makes it
sound like I really want to enter the mailname in the rewriting box.
Perhaps you could steal language from postfix?

So perhaps /etc/mailname in exim4 was never broken, just the template
(or my understanding of it) was :-)
