Severity: important


In debian localhost.localdomain is always defined as another
localhost alias. So much that nagios use it by default.

How joy !

Well a skillfull nagios user is supposed to be knowledgeable
enough to configure his email server by hand and know all the
twists and wistell but i have trusted the configurator without
checking (well until now)... shame on me.


I have not done proper extend research before reporting this bug
so please close or reassign this bug as if this is a gray area.
(no wishlist please, i don't wish a new feature, only that my
nagios mail don't end up on the internet :)

It could also be a local problem as my hosts had:
127.0.0.1       localhost
instead of:
127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
a day ago (another error on my side). Maybe this broke initial
exim4 setup ...

Alban
