Mmmmh... i think i couldn´t point it out.
if i try to send a mail from my MUA through my server, the MUA tries to authenticate against the exim. authentication fails. the point is: if i tried to send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - for example - delivery wouldn´t work. my server doesn´t relay the mail, because i wasn´t authorized to do so --> exim should behave like this - ok. if the recipient of my mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED], the server delivers the mail without having authorized me to send mail through my server´s smtp. it wasn´t meant the way, everybody who wants to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] has to authenticate. but at the moment you only need to know an valid email adress of the hosted domains without the right user/password for it to relay mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i hope this made it a little bit plainer.

Are you sure that's what you want? You don't want anyone outside your organization to be able to send you email? - Fred -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/ ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
