and then i'd simply use the sendmail binary (or whatever exim comes
with) and send mail as usual, because the connection to port 25 is then
established by the mail user and not by me. however, i am sure exim
can be configured to block mail coming from a specific user (which can
surely be faked). so in addition to an iptables rule, you will make it
really hard (but not impossible) to send mail.
why does the user not get mail access?
