From exim.conf: |
| 16 |
# They are all colon-separated lists |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
So you want: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 70.234.122.251 : 70.234.122.248 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I don't think you have to put "70.234.122.250" in here if it is the same |
| 23 |
machine as "127.0.0.1". At least I don't in my working configuration. |

Short: Yes... |
| 29 |
Long: I believe there are some spam filtering mechanisms in place in the |
| 30 |
default config that may block some hosts. This may or may not depend on which |
| 31 |
USE flags you built exim with. Check the ACL section of the config... |
