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.

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.
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.
