Of course not.  Why would I do that?  I'm not on dialup.  I'm on a
corporate LAN where I run my own DNS nameservers.

Isn't that controlled by the "System mail name" option?  As you can
see, mine is set to eeg.ccf.org.  Whether this is something I typed
into exim config by hand long ago, or something that it picked up
by itself from /etc/resolv.conf, I can no longer remember.

Either way, I would have made sure it was correct.

Indeed.  A mail server should be properly configured, not just left as
"best guess from defaults".
