Mmmmh...

i think i couldn´t point it out.

if i try to send a mail from my MUA through my server, the MUA tries to
authenticate against the exim.
authentication fails.
the point is:
if i tried to send a mail to user@xyz - for example - delivery wouldn´t
work. my server doesn´t relay the mail, because i wasn´t authorized to do so
--> exim should behave like this - ok.
if the recipient of my mail is someuser@mydomains, the server delivers the
mail without having authorized me to send mail through my server´s smtp.

it wasn´t meant the way, everybody who wants to send an email to
someuser@mydomains has to authenticate. but at the moment you only need to
know an valid email adress of the hosted domains without the right
user/password for it to relay mails to allusers@mydomains.


i hope this made it a little bit plainer.

Why not?

It's *very* unusual to require SMTP authentication to accept mail for
your local domains. Are you sure that's what you want? You don't
want anyone outside your organization to be able to send you email?
