Uhm, no. You cant force a remote SMTP server to do anything. It has its
own ideas on who to allow to relay, and who not to. Look at the previous
answer to your problem, where you were comparing exim and sendmails
bahavior - but you were not talking to the same server in both cases -
if you had been, the results would have been the same for exim and
sendmail - its the different servers that was causing the problem (eg,
one was letting you relay, the other was not), rather than any
difference between sendmail and exim - there is no hidden exchange - the
debug information you posted was EVERYTHING that exim/sendmail and the
remote server exchanged - they sent the same commands...
