I expected the session to croak at the beginning, but there's no check of
the host_accept_relay option, as far as I can tell.
Here are the gory details...

configure file:
host_accept_relay = 123.456.789.0

output of session:

$ ./exim -d9 -bh 123.456.789.1

Exim version 3.13 debug level 9 uid=0 gid=1

sender_fullhost = [123.456.789.1]

What RCPT TO: are you using? If its an address in a local domain, then
the relay checks wont matter - since sending to a local address is not
'relaying''..

Try:

MAIL FROM: junk@???
RCPT TO: junk@???

(Assuming of course that you don't handle mail for AOL locally :P)

If that isn't the problem, try posting the full output of

exim -d 9 -bh 1.2.3.4

to us here, and someone should be able to help..
