Subject: [exim] Exim domain and login checks for relay

Hi,

I'm currently setting up a mail system on a linux server that currently
hosts 3 domains. Every domain has its specific mail addresses, and all mail
users have a local user account with mail directories in their home dirs.

Everything is working fine as it is and people can send and receive mail
using squirrelmail. But now I'm trying to get pop3 and smtp from outside
working. Pop3 is working now, but I'm having some problems getting the smtp
to work the way I want. Right now relaying is off and no one is able to use
it from the outside. Turning relaying on for all domains allows people to
use my server for sending mails from any address they want, so that's not
the intention either.

What I want is that someone who wants to send a mail using the server's smtp
services has to login with server's user account, and that the address he
wants to send from 'belongs' to him so to say. Right now exim is setup to
use virtual host files to for example direct mail for someone@???
to local user theo. So if theo wants to send a mail, he should login with
his login information and only be allowed to send if he's trying to send
from someone@???.

Is it possible to setup exim like this? And if so, how would I do that?

Thanks,
Theo
