dest@??? , the mail can be sent.
Any other name else can't be sent.

Isn't ACL concerned about incoming mail? Am I thinking wrong?
Is ACL has anything to do about sending a mail?

Hi, Fred:

I'm appreciated with your reply.
Yesterday I add return_path=usrname_on_mail_server@???, and I can
see the sender check is ok.
However, the same error shown eventually.
Here is the message.
SMTP>> AUTH LOGIN

SMTP<< 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
SMTP>> ********

SMTP<< 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
SMTP>> ************

SMTP<< 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful.
SMTP>> MAIL FROM:<usrname_on_mail_server@???> SIZE=1343

AUTH=root@Latrell
SMTP>> RCPT TO:<dest@??? >
SMTP>> DATA

SMTP<< 250 2.1.0 usrname_on_mail_server@???....Sender OK
SMTP<< 250 2.1.5 dest@???
SMTP<< 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
SMTP>> writing message and terminating "."

SMTP<< 454 5.7.3 Client does not have permission to Send As this sender.
SMTP>> QUIT


I don't know what cause the error in that I've passed the sender check. Exim
only used as a client to authenticate remote mail server,
and then send mails. I will never use exim to be a server to receive mails.

The following is my ACL part:
 begin acl
    acl_check_rcpt:
      accept  hosts = :
      deny    domains       = +local_domains
              local_parts   = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|]
      deny    domains       = !+local_domains
              local_parts   = ^[./|] : ^.*[@%!] : ^.*/\\.\\./
      accept  local_parts   = postmaster
              domains       = +local_domains
      require verify        = sender
      accept  domains       = +local_domains
             endpass
              verify        = recipient
      accept  domains       = +relay_to_domains
              endpass
              verify        = recipient
      accept  hosts         = +relay_from_hosts
      accept  authenticated = *
      deny    message       = relay not permitted
Please points out the mastakes.
Thanks for your help again.


Best.
