Greetings,

First I thoght I was forgettin something, but now I doubt it...
In update-exim4.conf.conf (generated by dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config) I have 
dc_other_hostnames='localhost.localdomain, first-host.com, secondhost.biz'
and I have both first-host.com and secondhost.biz in /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1

Problem: mails to first-host.com have no problem, but to secondhost.biz are
rejected with
relay not permitted
Shouldn't exim know that secondhost.biz is local and not another server?
Of course that adding secondhost.biz as a server to relay, the mail is recieved
and relayed not to 127.0.0.1 but to the external IP (result of 
`host secondhost.biz`), and the mail loops and loops...

Shouldn't exim know that secondhost.biz is local (since it is on
dc_other_hostnames?)
