This is created by debconf. Reading its dialog helps.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-config.templates contains
Template: exim4/dc_other_hostnames
Type: string
Default:
Description: Other destinations for which mail is accepted:
Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for
which this machine should consider itself the final destination.
These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname
(${fqdn}) and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here.
.
By default all local domains will be treated identically. If both
a.example and b.example are local domains, acc@a.example and
acc@b.example will be delivered to the same final destination. If
different domain names should be treated differently, it is
necessary to edit the config files afterwards.
