You need to set the host_accept_relay parameter in exim.conf to contain
your local network. An SMTP AUTH configuration (see below) will also
work.

You need SMTP AUTH - the mail client sends their username and password to
the mail server. If the authentication information was correct they're
allowed to relay through. If these 4 people have static (ie unchanging
over long periods of time) IP numbers you can also use host_accept_relay
(above) to let them relay mail.
The "quick and dirty" way to do this would be:
In the "global" section add:
host_accept_relay = /etc/exim/host-relay
host_auth_accept_relay = *
auth_always_advertise = false
exim_user = root
And add this to the very end of the config file, after the rewrite
section:
end
##
# AUTHENTICATOR CONFIGURATION #
##
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_set_id = $2
server_condition = ${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1
end

Didn't this come uip earlier today? Just select option 1 in eximconfig, enter your domain name when asked, enter the local IP address range and don't allow relaying. -- Patrick "sig free and joyful"" Kirk GSM: +44 7876 560 646 ICQ: 42219699

Run the config tool ('eximconfig'). Pick option number 2 (smarthost
relay). This means that exim will accept mail coming from your own
machine and send it towards its destination using a "real" server that
you need to specify. Specify the mail server that your ISP provides.
You may need to use authentication on that server or it will drop your
messages -- to do this uncomment some of the lines near the end of the
config file that is generated and include the correct username and
password. If you want your machine to serve as the mail server for
the windows boxes, there might be some more configuration necessary, I
don't know because I haven't gotten there yet.

Tell eximconfig you're running an internet site (which you are) and then enter the relevant information in response to the "Does this system have any other names which may appear on incoming mail messages" and "Are there any domains you want to relay mail for" questions. -- With the arrest of Dimitry Sklyarov it has become apparent that it is not safe for non US software engineers to visit the United States. - Alan Cox "To prevent unauthorized reading..." - Adobe eBook reader license
