Odhiambo,
Thx. ��By messing with things I did not mean changing the config files, sorry. ��Testing with telnet, etc. ��telnet tests demonstrated I was not advertising auth or startssl properly when connected over these particular wireless/cell connections. ��I am NOT an open relay, never have been (went through that many, many years ago as a newbie). ��I just checked with mxtoolbox and I am good.
My concerns are the oddness with those particular cell/wireless connections and the error message from the server, even though the email goes through.
But I will check the original config files as you suggest - I have never changed anything with auth previously and all I did was change:
#auth_advertise_hosts = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}}
to:
auth_advertise_hosts = *
and corrected my 'tls_advertise_hosts = ' ��statement.
i will replay again after I check orig vs. my config files.

I suggest you start all over again and craft the config files.
Ideally, at the beginning, you only need to change TWO files:
1.��exim4u_local.conf.inc - a few obvious and important params at the top
2. exim.conf - you just want to change the line with relay_from_hosts
If you have changed more than that from the defaults, then you need to get the original distro files and run a diff against the original files and see what you changed.
AUTH in Exim is advertised from the settings in file [1] above. If AUTH fails then relay too should fail and as such you must be an "open relay" already, which is BAD!!
Start afresh.
We'll help.
