Apparently, that cant be done, so he has to get relay permission via
SMTP-auth. Exim supports SMTP authentication.

HELO/EHLO has absolutely nothing to do with authentication.

The only problem I see is that people seem to think exim is an 'email
client' like Outlook or Eudora. It is not. Exim is a 'mail server'
program. If all you have is an individual POP (or IMAP) account with an
ISP or company, exim really isnt the right tool for you.
