Andrew, Glad you replied to this! This was Paul Johnson's solution not mine. I used the other suggestion that was made (simpler, so I tried it first thinking it would probably not work as I thought I had already tried it) that is to put the public IP number in the hosts_accept_relay= directive.
Unfortunately when I saved this I clipped off the name of the person who gave me that answer...thanks to you whoeva you is! Now...how come it's working so slowly? I commented out the lookup directive to no effect. Maybe I should try Paul's solution. I'm afraid I am not up to speed on SSL...I'm listening if anyone wants to jump in. Best Wishes!

It is working perfectly. How do I do this with ssl? There are a lot of parts of my exim.conf that are commented out relating to tls conections. Is this similar to ssl? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
