| Ah, so you want to set it up so that a spammer could forge your (valid)
| email address in their "MAIL FROM:" to use your server as an open relay?
I think what the OP meant was :
$ cat <<EOF > /usr/sbin/exim relaytest@???
From: <example@???>
To: <relaytest@???>
Subject: This "From:" header is bogus.

EOF
He wants to reject this message rather than attempt to send it to
yahoo's server.
(if he was talking about messages received via SMTP then I agree with
the AUTH recommendation)
