Exim using incorrect hostname



When I configured exim (with `dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config`), I told it that
my system mail name was "foobar.com" (actually I didn't, but we'll pretend
that's what I called it).  /etc/mailname contains "foobar.com" as well, but
when sending mail exim issues "EHLO localhost.localdomain", and when receiving
mail it adds the line "Recieved: from sender.whatever.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) by
localhost.localdomain"

Either my box is schizophrenic, exim is borked, or I'm braindead.  How do I get
exim to report my box's real hostname?

### /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf ###
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames='foobar.com'
dc_local_interfaces=''
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='my.smarthost'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='true'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
### /etc/hostname ###
foobar
### /etc/mailname ###
foobar.com
###
