I believe the problem is this line:

host_accept_relay = gatenby.net

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but this line enables
spammers to set their from address to anything@??? and your server
will allow them to relay.

You need to change that line to include only IP blocks rather than domain
name(s).

Subject: [Exim] relaying problems - URGENT


I have had my mail server up for months without an issue yesterday it
started relaying mail from spammers off my server so I edited my exim config
file, now i have no spammers, but no user on my server can send mail to an
outside domain because exim refuses
to relay. I'm sure its just a minor bug in my conf, but i cant find it.
Please help. Here is a link to my current exim config file:
http://www.gatenby.net/exim.conf.txt

this is extremely important, thanks in advance for the help
