It depends on the services you are using.

Look at /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, and more.

Have a look at your exim configs to see if they have any reference to your 
domain name.

Maybe use "grep -r" to search for your domain name in your /etc directory.

Also be sure to have a hostname that works for reverse lookups, so you 
don't have lookup delays.
