I have had this problem due to order of host_accept_relay options.
From FAQ 0030 The solution is to put all explicit IP addresses first in
the list.
The default eximconf comes with localhost as your first option. So it
doesn't get to relay any ips if your still have this in place.
host_accept relay should be: 127.0.0.1: 192.168.25.0/24: then hostnames you
want to relay for.
Hope this is right..... Its my first post after being on the list for 2 years!
