} No; sender_verify just checks that the address is valid, i.e. Exim can 
} route to it. Piete's users submit mail from their workstations via SMTP 
} to his mail server. He wants to insist that they set their sender
} addresses to xxx@???, so he sets sender_address_relay as above. 
} Just setting sender_verify would not stop one of his users emitting mail 
} with the sender set to neal@???, to choose a random example. :-)


I happen to be setting up boxes which can locally delive mail for any one
of n domains (n is around 10,000 at present I believe).

Now putting these into the sender_address_relay could be problematical
(although since the vast majority of domains are in a couple of dbm files
its not too hard). Is there a sufficient use for a flag that basically
only allows valid local (by which I mean addresses which would be locally
delivered) user to relay??

Or maybe this is just getting to unecessary duplication.
