In exim.conf you need to change 2 things:
- Section "begin routers"
smart_route:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = \
excite.com <your relay>; \
... any others, end w/o semicolon
- Section "begin authenticators", depending on the method used to
authenticate to your relay, you need one of:
<your relay>_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
client_send = : <user name> : <password>
<your relay>_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = : <user name> : <password>
<your relay>_cram_md5:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = <user name>
client_secret = <password>
