My understanding is the description for the primary_hostname option attempts to list its usage ( https://code.exim.org/exim/exim/src/commit/320482241e766498f8afd1c0b19f209820cd1831/doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt#L17521-L17525 ). If that is the case, the replacement of the single @ character in a domain list is missing from that list. diff --git a/doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt b/doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt index 1182fdba5..d2ef5403d 100644 --- a/doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt +++ b/doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt @@ -17520,7 +17520,9 @@ volume of mail.
