Folks:

In my /etc/hosts file, there's a line:

127.0.1.1 yosemite.mars.lan yosemite

I think Debian put it there.

Later in the file, I've got:

192.168.254.30  yosemite.mars.lan   yosemite

So there are two entries for the same (my) machine. Is this a problem?
Specifically, could it cause problems with email (Exim4 or OpenSMTPD)?

Paul
