There are probably two relevent lines in your exim.conf file
local_domains = localhost:*.home:chandlerfamily.org.uk:libdebate.org
is the first showing mine - it says what mail addresses are considered local
(the *.home entry is because all my home machines are behind a firewall and
not seen on the internet and use this non standard Top Level Domain - the
other domains apart from localhost are ones I own the domain name for and
have accounts locally to receive for them)
the second line I use is
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1: 10.0.10.0/24
which controls which machines get to do an smtp connection to exim to send
mail. These are local host and the whole of the 10.0.10.x subnet (which is
the addresses assigned to all the local machines on my home network)
The comments in the file for the other parameters near to these give some
other options - but I expect you won't need them.
