I my /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated have these lines:
--------------------->
...

.ifndef DC_visiblename
DC_visiblename=csanyipal.info
.endif

.ifndef MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS
MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS = @:localhost:csanyipal.info
.endif
domainlist local_domains = MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS

...
----------------------<

It seems to me that the order of the local domains are not correct: 
there should to stand:
MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS = csanyipal.info:@:localhost
isn't?

Where can I set up this order, in which 
/etc/exim4/conf.d/ ... directory/file?
