check your exim configuration for host_accept_relay, and show us what

I thought you had hit the nail on the head there so I added my long list of
IP addresses into config file thus

host_accept_relay =
localhost:212.1.128.0/19:*.telinco.net:62.6.186.226:80.40/13:212.74.96.0/19:
212.159.128.0/18:62.64.128.0/1
9:212.139.32.0/19:212.139.128.0/17:213.123.76.0/23:62.7.125.0/24:62.7.126.0/
24:62.7.127.0/24:80.225/16

Is this the correct format?
I then shut down and restarted exim. Alas I still get mail relay rejected.

I think I may have something here. I got this from exim.org documentation.

If you have both names and IP addresses in the same host list, you should
normally put the IP addresses first. For example:

host_accept_relay = 10.9.8.7 : *.friends.domain

The reason for this lies in the left-to-right way that Exim processes lists.
It can test IP addresses without doing any DNS lookups, but when it reaches
an item that requires a DNS lookup, it normally fails if the DNS lookup
fails, because it cannot find a host name to compare with the pattern.
(There is the `+allow_unknown' facility -- described above -- for changing
this, but it is not recommended.) If the above list were in the other order,
Exim would reject relaying from any host whose name could not be found, even
if it were 10.9.8.7.

The way I read this if reverse DNS lookup fails ie. nslookup <IP Address>
does not resolve to a hostname, exim will deny relay even though the IP
address is configured as mine is below. Is this correct??






I thought you had hit the nail on the head there so I added my long list of
IP addresses into config file thus

host_accept_relay =
localhost:212.1.128.0/19:*.telinco.net:62.6.186.226:80.40/13:212.74.96.0/19:

24:62.7.127.0/24:80.225/16

Is this the correct format?
I then shut down and restarted exim. Alas I still get mail relay rejected.

NONONO.. This will make you an open relay.

His problem is that he has *.telinco.net in there, before the lists of
IP addresses. All numeric IP addresses should be first, THEN any
hostnames or hostname wildcards..

Okay - I have just re-read the instruction, I agree my mistake, thanks
for pointing it out :-)

I have two emails addresses that I allow to relay through. While
I realise that if a spammer guessed the email addresses they would be
able to relay. I have
not had the opportunity to send up auth. (I run the mailservers as a
favour and do not have access
to the employees time to explain to them how to connect).

Tried that, removed the *.telinco completly. Still doesn't work.

The thing that worries me is this reverse DNS lookup thing I mentioned
earlier as 2 of the server IP's I took from the logs won't resolve. Check
this from FreeBSD /var/log/messages.

Jun 7 18:08:25 post popper[60088]: Client at "80.40.0.23" resolves to an
unknown host name "ppp-5-23.london-b-cvx-1.access.as9105.com"

I did this to double check it

> nslookup 80.40.0.23
Server: dns1.cluster1.telinco.net
Address: 212.1.128.156

Name: ppp-5-23.london-b-cvx-1.access.as9105.com
Address: 80.40.0.23

Then

> nslookup ppp-5-23.london-b-cvx.access.as9105.com
Server: dns1.cluster1.telinco.net
Address: 212.1.128.156

*** dns1.cluster1.telinco.net can't find
ppp-5-23.london-b-cvx.access.as9105.com: Non-existent host/domain

Does this mean exim will not reay as the IP address will not resolve???

Bloody hell. You really want to relay for all that IP space?

suresh@frodo:~ cidr 80.40.0.0/13
ip address..........: 80.40.0.0
netmask.............: 255.248.0.0

network address.....: 80.40.0.0
broadcast address...: 80.47.255.255

please wait while host addresses are validated...

total host addresses: 524286

and such.

212.1.128.0/19 != 212.1.128.[0-19]

You might be better off setting up AUTH

Most of those are dialups and a port 25 outbound filter at their routers
would work wonders.

That, and an abuse desk in some kind of working order.

Yes guy's Tiscali host me. They swallowed the small company that hosted me.
Now they have linked uk the whole of the uk into one big national network,
if I don't have all these IP'S in I'll have problems. The relay issue
started after we went over to this national setup. Radius is permit all so
there are no changes to make there. They say it's down to server
configuration but won't give me any pointers on what or where to look. I'm
still looking for an answer on the reverse DNS issue though as if thats the
problem it's down to them not me.

Have you tried increasing the output by running exim with the following
command exim -v -d11 -bd

It will take you step by step through the transaction, it should tell
you which part of the configuration
is refusing relay.

Jesus Christ. If you dont own and control all those IPs, don't relay
for them.

Set up SMTP AUTH or something similar.

-srs

I'm not trying to allow relay for them through my server. I'm trying to get
outgoing mail from my server to relay through them. I've not made it very
clear have I, I have 200 users who have not been able to sent mail for 7
days and all Tiscali's customer service people say is it's a congfiguration
problem on my server. I need to sort it out. In 7 days I'm gonna tell them
where to shove it and co-locate elsewhere.

Good lord above. You want to set Tiscali's (not all that good)
mailserver as a smarthost for your Exim install, is that it?

Take a look at the Exim FAQ, or http://www.hserus.net/exim.html

What you have managed to do is to let any Tom, Dick and Harry on a
Tiscali dialup relay through your machine.

What happens is that all Tiscali's customers - not just your users - get
to relay through your machine.

Set up AUTH like I said.

-srs

I don't know how to set up auth, and like I said no one can relay at the
moment, thats my problem. As I only have 7 days left in the NOC how could I
set it up as an open relay, I don't mind doing that for 7 days till I move
out and into my new NOC.

Poke around the config.samples in ftp.exim.org

And post a complete From: and To: of where you are getting Relaying
Denied, along with a list of those IP blocks again, please.

I can't fix your problem, but a couple of tips:
Do:

exim -bV

to find out exactly what version you are using.
Take Xander's advice. Stop exim and restart it something like:

exim -v -d11 -bd

Then try relaying an email - this will give you lots of debug output.
Email this information to the list and people might be able to be a bit
more specific with their help.

OK Chaps, this is it the full transcript of what happens. It says is host in
host_accept_relay no. Host is id'd as 127.0.0.1, localhost. I added that to
the config file and then stopped and restarted exim and it still does not
work. It must be something to do with the config file. Should there be a
space between IP'S and : such as 127.0.0.1 : 127.0.0.1 or as I have it
127.0.0.1:127.0.0.1. Or have I not understood the transcript properly and
it's saying that 80.47.5.28 isn't in the host_accept_relay, it is as
80.40/13.
