[Pkg-exim4-users] Relay not permitted: thunderbird/icedove

[cam at ellisonpsychology.ca]

I have googled about this, asked questions on mozilla and dovecot lists,
and get no answers.  I am able to use Squirrelmail on my desktop, the
various instances of "mail" in scripts all work as intended, and mail sent
from my website works as well, but I cannot send from Thunderbird (or
KMail, for that matter).  The exim4 configuration (split) has not changed
in some time.

This is the setup:

Exim4 set to "internet" delivers incoming mail to Dovecot IMAPS.  That
part works.  For a while, it did not - Icedove would crash when an attempt
was made to read a message, but sending worked.  In desperation, I wiped
Icedove and installed Thunderbird from the tar file (2.0.0.12).  Now
reading works, but sending does not.

Outgoing mail is handled by SMTP on port 25.  The system has a fixed IP
address.  Exim4 version is 4.69, and I'm running exim4-daemon-heavy.  I
have read through the changes implemented in the last 4 or 5 versions, but
none of them seem to apply.

What have I missed?

Thank you

Cam
