The exim list introduced me to a "qualify_domain" setting and I was able to force it that way. Thanks so much for your help.

I am running Debian 2.4.27 - this is a machine that started out from the
hobbit virtual appliance that was widely available for download.
Ah. Then there's no telling what may be pre-customized from defaults. A
default Exim install should be returning hobbit at hhcgvl-moni03, which might
not be accepted by your Exchange server, either, but wouldn't be as
mysterious. I'd guess that either primary_hostname is set to a null
string ("") or there's a rewrite rule that doesn't know its domain.
You're probably getting better help than that over on the Exim lists.

By default, user at hostname will be used by Exim. Is hostname set on the
system? IE, does the hostname command return anything? Alternatively, I
think you can set primary_hostname in /etc/mail/exim.conf. As another
pointed out, if you tell us what OS we'll be better able to help.
