You don't allow relaying for your computer.  Using localhost (or
127.0.0.1) instead of 192.168.100.21 as your SMTP-server in mozilla
might fix it.

perfect, sir! if the list is getting this message, we are bang on the spot!

But you should take a look at everything related to "relay" in the
config file and the exim docs anyway to understand what this is about.

Hint: you probably allow relay for localhost but not for
192.168.100.21.  Since you address the server not on its local address
but the one bound to its NIC (network interface card), the mail
doesn't seem to come from localhost (127.0.0.1).

i did. quite informative. thanx
