Those docs are for Exim 3.20. The current version is 4.63, which is
documented at:
http://exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/index.html
If your friend's server really is still running Exim 3.20, not many
people on this list will be able to help you much, as that version is
very out of date.

In current exim, at least if your config looks like the default config,
you need to add your host to the relay_from_hosts list. That can take a
hostname which will be looked up in DNS.
