    Many thanks Monique and Paul

    No success though. I need to put a fully qualified domain name in
    exim4.conf, but for the life of me I cannot see where. Tried as
    suggested, and it laughed at me!

    As an aside, the problems really started with a Sarge upgrade a while
    ago, following which my clock time was not updated ... I left it to deal
    with later, as I reasoned it was a simple configuration error of very
    little importance. Any thoughts as to cause?

    You mentioned further possibilities ... what are they?

    Many thanks

    Brian
