Hi I have exim running on port 8900 and another mail server running on port 25. This mail server will be used to relay outgoing emails to exim. But somehow I am getting this error from exim 550, 'relay not permitted' when relaying email to exim. Is there any way I can configure exim to permit relaying?

All iedas are highly appreciated.

Add this to your config:

hostlist   relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 10.0.0.1/24

This will allow relaying from localhost and 10.0.0.1/24. Change 10.0.0.1/24 to whatever host/mask combination suits your network.

Is 10.0.0.1/24 the local interface ip? – jpartogi Oct 17 '10 at 8:31
The list following the equals sign is a colon-delimited list of networks (in CIDR notation) that you want to allow relaying from. – ErikA Oct 17 '10 at 16:27
