    Hello,

Yes, I want mails from my local linux machine to be relaied to MS
Exchange server.

    In my /etc/exim.conf I have generated from the instalation script
this one and only router configured:


# Send all mail to a smarthost

smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
# route_list = "* smtp.quick.cz:smtp.volny.cz:tyto.vslib.cz bydns_a"
# route_list = "* smtp.quick.cz:smtp.volny.cz bydns_a"
route_list = "* protector:smtp.quick.cz:smtp.volny.cz bydns_a"

end

     I have no access/permission to the exchange server. I can not
modify anything there.

     Probably this need to be changed. Autorising with a specific name
and password.
For example in Netscape I set the smtp host (the exchange server) and
outgoing mail server user name, he asks me for a password by sending a
mail and delivering is OK.
