I don't have a clue what you are referring to when you say relaying, but your setup sounds closer to eximconfig's (2)-option: accept local mail (fetchmail from your pop3-host) and send mail via smart-host (mail.gmx.ch). I configured it like this, and now exim sends my mail in an ip-up script. -- Felix Natter
