I just want to correct one thing I said here, having read your other 
posts. In one of them you mentioned you have static routing mappings set 
up for your network machines in /etc/hosts. That is a perfectly valid 
setup, albeit it is not the default "Debian way" (by which I mean only 
that it is not how Debian comes configured out of the box, or more 
accurately out of the .iso) and not how I do it. What a pain if you buy 
a new computer to add to your network! But absolutely nothing invalid 
about it.

In this case, Avahi is probably *not* involved because exim4 gets an 
answer to the question of what IP the host name maps to, without having 
to consult it. But it *would be* involved if you did not have static 
mappings set up in /etc/hosts.
