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".
