Exim 3.12 only allows relaying if the config file is specifically set to
do so. In other words this can be solved by fixing the broken configs.
See the howto on the website (
http://www.exim.org/howto/relay.html) or read
section 46.4 of the specification which talks about relaying in detail. I
don't believe that anything has changed in the relay controls between 3.12
and the current release (3.34). As an aside 3.12 is over 2 yrs and you might
want to push your users to upgrade anyway. Especially since there is a
potential security problem with that release (and all others through 3.33). See
http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20011217/033294.html
for details on that and a patch against 3.12 if you'd rather patch that
version.
