Hostname command returns "hhcgvl-moni03" as I would expect.

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.

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.
