[wplug] exim config question

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October John Harrold assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Howdy,
| 
| I'm running exim4 on debian and I want to be able to receive email on the
| local computer from other computers. So I need to open up port 25, but I'm
| not sure how to go about doing this. Can anyone explain how to do this
| without creating an open relay?

Ahh. I found the following suggestion in one of the exim config files:

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

So I ran the reconfig thing. I told it to accept email for a specified
domain and added the nic ip address to the local interfaces. I also told it
to only relay email for the local network (192.168.0.0/24). Since I'm not
real experienced with this, is there anything I should change?

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
