Thanks, Doug, but didn't work. In /etc/email-addresses I have:
brownh: brownh@hartford-hwp.com
and tried (following the directions literally):
user: brownh@hartford-hwp.com
No go.
In exim4 configuration, where I list recipient domains for which the
machine is final recipient, I put "hartford-hwp.com" in rather than
include the hostname "langhans.hartford-hwp.com".
In the section of the configuration that asks local mailname in outgoing
mail, I have a visible domain name as: "hartford-hwp.com".
I presume both of these are correct.
