Brendan there is an exim-users mailing list. And it contains huge threads answering your question: http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users If you can't resolve the problem here that's the place to ask. Here is the archives: http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/ Typing ISP into the search box I found this: [Exim] Relaying at ISP SMTP http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20011112/032230.html And this one: [EXIM] Directing all the mail to my ISP http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-19971117/005532.html The Exim documentation available on-site is quite comprehensive as well.
