Hi Peter
This is what I have in my exim config file with regards to the relays :-
hostlist relay_from_hosts = /usr/local/etc/exim/host_relay : 127.0.0.1 :
chaos.gam.co.za : localhost.gam.co.za :
spoolmx.gam.co.za : 10.0.0.27
I have added every possible entry for the local host here and moved it to
the top of the ACL, but I still have the relay access denied errors coming
through.
Regards
Gawie

Sounds like Exim is not configured to allow relay from localhost. If you
have a hostlist called something like 'relay_from_hosts', put 127.0.0.1
in it. Otherwise create one.
And an ACL clause something like:
accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts
high up in the rcpt ACL.
