I have proceeded with the MAIL and RCPT commands, but still have not seen a
check of the host_accept_relay option. I know I must be missing something
obvious, but this is brand spanking new to me, and as far as I can tell,
syntactically, everything is correct. Sorry for the repeat questions.

configure file:
host_accept_relay = 207.155.100.71

command line results:
/usr/local/etc/exim/bin/exim -bh 1.2.3.4

**** SMTP testing session as if from host 1.2.3.4

>>> host in host_reject_recipients? no (option unset)

How could it croak at the beginning? It doesn't know at that stage if a
relay attempt is going to be made or not.

It does not check for relaying permission until the caller actually
attempts to relay. Why waste time on a check that may not be needed?
You must proceed to give a MAIL and a RCPT command to force a relay
check.
