List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: First of all you need to see why relaying is being allowed. It is sometimes necessary to accept smtp from localhost because some muas put messages in like this. to do relay testing try this: exim -bh ip.address.not.hostname helo fully.qualified.domain.name mail from:email.address@valid.domain rcpt to:valid.target@domain.name data tra la la la . Note that the above was a fullstop on a line by itself. As you run this procedure exim will tell you what cheks are beeing performed. It tells you which fail which succeed and why relaying works or doesn't. relay_domains lets you specify who can relay by fqdn. sender_accept_relay tells you by networks a nd ip addresses. the spec.txt has a rather nice section that sets it all out rather nicely; and it got easier to understand since exim v3.0. I recall 1.61 relay controls; sender_accept_relay sender_reject_relay and sender_reject_relay_except or some silliness. If you have further problems or need clarifications le tme know.
