I found these lines in my config at different places:

line 28:     line hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 :
line 123:   accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
line 131:   hosts = +relay_from_hosts


Those aren't bad are they? It seems that i have it set up to only relay
mail for my own server... right? Gosh I feel like such a moron. Exim4
configuration is so complicated to someone who is completely unfamiliar
with it.
