Ok. Let's work through the ACL. The rejection message you see "550 relay not
permitted" seems to be triggered after getting through to the end of the
acl_check_rcpt acl with it having been accepted or rejected by any of the
preceding conditions. Now, let's examine the first few sections as they are
where I'd expect submitted mail to be accepted:
acl_check_rcpt:
accept
hosts = :
accept
hosts = +relay_from_hosts
control = submission/sender_retain
accept
authenticated = *
control = submission/sender_retain
So, the first condition
hosts = :
is a way of accepting locally submitted smtp messages (exim -bs and all that).
So, let's ignore that.
The next is
hosts = +relay_from_hosts
That says that mail will be accepted if it is received from a host that matches
that host list. You have that defined as
hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost : 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : 64.147.180.64/26 :
192.168.20.0/24 : 127.0.0.1 : ::::1
Hmm. Some redundancy there - you might want to tidy it up (remove localhost, the
second 127.0.0.1 and, if you're not using IPV6, both of the IPV6 addresses). But
anyway, does the host you're sending from match any of these ? If you think it
does, then we have a problem. You can run a simulated test by using
exim -d -bh ip.address.of.client
or
exim -d -bhc ip.address.of.client
(this one simulates callouts as well) and then simulate an SMTP conversation.
Read the debug carefully and see why it is being rejected.
Then there's the authentication. This means that any client that is able to
authenticate can send email through this server. Is your client using
authentication ?
Does that give you some ideas on where to start checking for yourself what the
problem is ? By the way, you have remembered that exim needs to be restarted or
at least sent a SIGHUP to get it to reread its config ?
