Bug#376460: exim4-config: response of yes to Hide local mail name in outgoing mail? seems to produce dc_hide_mailname='false'

[Ross Boylan]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.62-2
Severity: normal

Might warrant higher severity of reproducible.

I installed 4.62-1 on a system that previously had exim3.  During
installation, this exchange happened:
--------------------------
Hide local mail name in outgoing mail? yes


Since you enabled hiding the local mailname in outgoing mail, you must
specify the domain name to use for mail from local users; typically
this is the machine on which you normally receive your mail.

Where will your users read their mail?

Visible domain name for local users: betterworld.us
------------------------------------------------------------
I then upgraded exim4-config to 4.62-2; no questions were asked during
the upgrade.

/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf had
 dc_hide_mailname='false'
after this.  I have since edited it manually.

I sent a message about this to pkg-exim4-users, though I have a
feeling it didn't get through because of this configuration problem.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but it seems something is wrong.
