Re: [exim] Can't close open relay.

With out overstaying my welcome here. I have one more question. Since I now
have stopped the open relay issue, it turns out that I can no longer send
mail through my server. Is there an easy config change for this to allow me
to use name/password authentication for sending mail ?

Thanks
Elias

I reboot the box and it's fine now. I noticed that even thought I did
/etc/init.d/exim4 stop that there were still some exim processes running. I
rebooted and the banner now comes up and relay tests pass.

Thanks everyone.

Elias
