When sending mail from my office pc to other company employees who have
@cityairlines.net email addresses, mail delivery is successful and they can
retrieve mail from the mailserver with their POP and/or IMAP mail clients. Most
use outlook, but some use thunderbird. see

When sending mail from my office pc to any domain other than cityairlines.net,
it is denied relay: see http://www.cityairlines.net/eximyesrelay.png

When sending mail from the mailserver itself to any external domain, it
succeeds: http://www.cityairlines.net/eximyesrelay.png

It says:
$ exim4 -bt exim-users@???
R: dnslookup for exim-users@???
exim-users@???
router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
host sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk [131.111.8.41] MX=5
