Hi, James I'm answering because I use both Exim and SquirrelMail, and don't have you're problem. I am NOT an Exim expert; if I have anything wrong I'm sure I'll soon be told!

We do this by # testing for an empty sending host field. accept hosts = : However, something else troubles me, and that's the entry in your reject.log H=mail.somename.name (www.somename.name) [ip_addr] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted If that someone is using SquirrelMail then their IP address should show as 127.0.0.1 and the entry is more like 2011-08-07 11:51:24 1Qr5Rc-0002Zs-Lv <= [email protected] H=(craybox.com) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=755 [email protected] In particular, the IP address recorded by Exim is 127.0.0.1; only SquirrelMail will note (if you have its logging turned on) the IP address of the sender. I suspect your SquirrelMail configuration is faulty and that, of course, is beyond the scope of this list. -- This is Spain. We do things differently here!
