It may help to use a rewrite rule that modifies the to-Header:

*@target.system.org @relay.system.org:$local_part@$domain T

Then ignore the local system in the DNS Router
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0.0/8 : this.system.org


This should work without enabling the percent hack.

Have a nice vacation.

The concept that I needed to permit percent hack relaying for a
restricted
domain in order to turn it off for outside domains. It would seem that
if
I left this unconfigured (as it was in the example sent), it should not
permit relaying. That was not the case. I have configured two hosts as
internet sites where the percent hack relay was not defined and they
behaved as I expected - they did not permit relaying. Default relaying
behavior only happened when I defined the hosts as satellite systems and
left the percent hack relay item undefined.

I have forwarded the information to the person who is listed as
maintaining
the Debian package for exim. I have not heard back from them.

Thanks for your assistance with this. Looks like I need to invest in
yet
another O'Reilly book ;-)
