Boy, I just finishing composing one message to you and there is
another question ;-)

I have not seen this one, but most likely you need to look in
exim.conf and look at the options that have the word 'relay' in
them. Your use of SMTP from your own host to exim on your own host is
showing up as a relay. Most likely because of the way /etc/hosts or
your local DNS server has been set up, exim thinks that the IP from
which Mozilla is delivering mail is not the same as the IP + hostname
that exim is running on. So it will not relay it on (which is A Good
Thing).

Cheers!

got the gist. how do i solve it? do i have to modify my exim.conf again? well, now i am kind of used to it!
