>domainlist relay_domains = @mx_any
This sets up a domainlist variable for later use (it would be used as
+relay_domains). See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/spec_7.html#SECT7.1 near the top
for an explanation. See also
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/spec_10.html#SECT10.5
>domainlist local_domains = @ : @mx_any
You probably don't want @mx_any in your list of domains considered local. I
could just simply add your server as an MX record into my domains DNS
entries and then presto, I could more than likely relay out through your
server. See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/spec_10.html#SECT10.7 for info
on the @ and @mx_any items.
I would suggest you just keep local_domains as "@", and then define a
different domainlist that would store servers or whatever that you will
allow to relay through you - be careful with this though...

Subject: [Exim] The role of @mx_any
Hello,
First off, I apologize if this question is trivial, or answered
somewhere else. I did spend time looking for the answer, but didn't
find anything concrete, so here I am.
In my exim configure file I have the following lines:
domainlist local_domains = @ : lsearch:/etc/virtual/domains
domainlist relay_domains = @mx_any
A couple questions about this configuration:
1. relay_domains does not occur anywhere else in the config file, is
this a variable used within exim or can this be removed from my config file?
2. According to the documentation, @mx_any matches any domain that has
an MX record pointing to the local host. The file /etc/virtual/domains
has a list of all domains that I am the primary MX for. So can I safely
change the first line to:
domainlist local_domains = @ : @mx_any
Are these equivalent?
Thanks.
-Brett
