3) The last command I isssued:

This was the behavior I was seeing yesterday as well.

Try killing it and re-issuing it since you've made the other changes.
It looks like your mail configuration is now fixed.

I tried several times, including re-issuing 'exim4 -qff'.
It hangs and I have to kill it.
The output is appended below.

Finally -- I don't know if it is significant -- but I note in the output below, for example 3 lines from the bottom, that the address 'root@fastmail.fm' appears. This should not happen, right? because fastmail.fm is my provider's public domain. email from/to root@fastmail.fm would be suspect?

Output follows:
[Assume:
* 'machine.homenetwork' is the ouput of command 'hostname -f'.
* My public address is 'myemail@fastmail.fm'.]
