OK guys, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the policy. Here,
hopefully, is everything you might need, thanks in advance for yout
time.

To start from the beginning. A client's server has a send-to-friend
form on the site, with to and from fields. When using one of our local
domains in the from field the mail is rejected by our mail server.

Find below snips of exim4.conf, I've included the filter the mail is
failing on (based on the message in the log), and the values for the
variables included in the filter.

I thought I understood why it was failing originally, so added the
client's server's IP (146.101.171.20) to relay_hosts, but I think I must
be barking up the wrong tree.

==================================
hostlist relay_hosts = 10.10.0.0/16 : 10.14.0.0/16 : 192.168.0.0/24 :
127.0.0.0/24 : KYLIENEW_EXT_IP : KYLIENEW_EXT2_IP : MESON_EXT_IP :
CONWAY_EXT_IP : 209.63.57.143 : TELEHOUSE_INT : 146.101.171.20

hostlist rroom_senders = +relay_hosts : 217.154.32.202 : DARACH :
195.224.53.21 : 212.78.66.134 : WOW4WATER_HOST : 209.63.57.143 :
195.82.99.79 : DEANST_SDSL : MANC_SDSL : TELEHOUSE_EXT : 217.77.187.100
: *.mail.demon.net : TELEHOUSE_INT : 203.202.1.200 : 203.202.1.199 :
217.154.32.202 : 125.253.0.193

domainlist rroom_domains = partial-lsearch;LDOM_RROOM : decoyfarm.com

 deny    hosts = !+rroom_senders
          domains = +rroom_domains : readingroom.com.au
          sender_domains = +rroom_domains : readingroom.com.au
          delay = 30s
          message = Your host is not authorised to send mail from
Reading Room group
================================== 


and entries in the logs for these failures:

==================================
2006-11-30 10:07:14 H=(www.crimestoppers-uk.org) [146.101.171.21]
F=<jc@???> rejected RCPT <jc@???>: Your host is not

==================================

Hopefully that's everything, thanks again,

jc
