Jeff, just a note: You seem to make things more complicated as they need to be. Again have a look at Bill's e-mail, he outlines two important principles in exim, or maybe SMTP in general: 1) Allowing relay based on IPs 2) Allowing relay based on authentication So, the first thing one usually tries to achieve (because it's the easiest one) is to maintain a list of IPs that are allowed to send e-mail to non-local recipients. The default configuration for example contains a hostlist "relay_from_hosts" which is used in the recipient ACL (acl_check_rcpt in the default config) to allow recipients independently of whether they are local or remote, if the sending host is in the "relay_from_hosts" list. > By the way, in past weeks, I had also tried to restrict > authorizations via the auth_advertise_hosts variable (and other > methods) as well but had not been able to get it working that way. You're not exactly saying what you were trying to achieve, and what then did actually happen. > [...] it is because I am using Ubuntu.
