OK.
Few folks want to read ALL of a ~/configure file on first go.
Let's narrow down the cause.
First get all the BASICS' in proper shape.
1) YOUR server has a fixed IP and published PTR RR, A, and MX record(s)
??
2) So, too do others who 'care'. So switch-on rDNS checking.
Remember to FIRST exempt any by-IP whitelist citizens AND your own user
group arriving on port 587, as their broadband/dial up will NOT have a
PTR RR (hardly ever anyway...).
3) Submission from the wide world happens on port 25. But is only
accepted for recipients of YOUR OWN local user pool, not for OTHERS.
Require it to be so.
4) Submission from your own user group happens only on port 587, WITH:
- SSL/TLS protocol
- valid UID and matching PWD
Insure you require all three of those.
Examples for all of the above are plentiful all over this list and in
the docs. Go Ogle will find them.
See what you are missing and come back for SPECIFIC help if the fix is
not obvious.
BTW - IF you are going to run web apps on the same server as an MTA?
A whole EXTRA set of security issues arise. Most are not Exim related..
