Bug#365546: exim4: missing preposition in discussion of /etc/mailname

Package: exim4
Version: 4.61-1
Severity: minor

README.Debian.gz in /usr/share/doc/exim4-config (and maybe other spots) says
2.1.1.3. System mail name

   Your ``mail name'' is the hostname portion of the address to be shown
   outgoing news and mail messages (following the username and @ sign).

I think you mean "to be shown ON outgoing....".  The natural reading of the current
English is "to be shown TO outgoing...".  Of course, that doesn't make
much sense, and the next few lines make the intent clear, I think.

I recommend adding "on" as indicated above to clean this up.
