Thank you for the response.

Sorry if I didn't make it clearer.

Yes, I do expect mail from the internet, but I don't want users to be able
to use the SMTP server to send e-mail if they are outside of my local
network(s), even if they have local e-mail accounts.

For example, a user can only send e-mail through the server if his request
is from IP
within 12.34.56.1 - 12.34.56.255 or 23.45.67.1 - 23.45.67.255.

I realize that I can disable connection at firewall level, but I suppose
that I can do it from Exim as well?

What does the line above do? In particular, what the semantics of "/" here?

Thank you for your time.
