From exim.conf: # They are all colon-separated lists So you want: hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 70.234.122.251 : 70.234.122.248 I don't think you have to put "70.234.122.250" in here if it is the same machine as "127.0.0.1". At least I don't in my working configuration. > Also, exim needs to be able to receive > mail from anywhere. Is this the default behaviour? Short: Yes... Long: I believe there are some spam filtering mechanisms in place in the default config that may block some hosts. This may or may not depend on which USE flags you built exim with. Check the ACL section of the config...
