Depends on your routers. You can set them up this way, but usually it
only depends on the destination address.
Ive tried with the setup in FAQ0303 an onward but it doesnt solve it so i
wonder if the problem is elsewhere (eg does
Q304 you mean?
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 192.168.0.0/24: 127.0.0.1 - which is what ive
got -mean 'everything that comes to exim fom the local server, regardless
od the 'from' address' .
relay_from_hosts is usually used in the ACLs for relay control. Relay
control should never depend on the 'from' address (envelope-from I
assume) because it can be easily forged.
route_list = smtp.isp.co.uk
^
here is a '*' missing. Or you use "route_data = smtp.isp.co.uk" (which
is more pretty, I think, I don't know the reason for "* .." in the FAQ).
dnslookup:
You don't need that one, then. It will never be used.
