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

[Ian Zimmerman]

Marc> Which rewriting clauses are you talking about? 

The ones in the final configuration file /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
(after I run update-exim4.config), in the rewriting section.  There are 2
similar lines.  One for senders with a domain listed in local_domains,
and this one doesn't depend on the debconf setting at all, which is also
a bug in its own right IMO.  And a second line whose template looks like
this:

# identical rewriting rule for /etc/mailname
DEBCONFrewriteemailaddresses_mailnameDEBCONF

but no matter what the debconf setting, the output from the template is
always the same, i.e. a rewrite setting just like the local_domains line
just with the mailname substituted.

Sorry for not posting the final output, I don't have the energy to edit
it now to hide my real domain (I know, what irony).

Marc> Which values do you have in update-exim4.conf.conf?

itz at ahiker:~$ cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf | fgrep mailname
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
itz at ahiker:~$
