exim4 + courier-imap won't allow sending from desktop
I can connect to my ~/Maildir to read mail. Sending from outside my domain works fine, as does sending from the command line (both to my domain and to other domains).
But … when I'm at my desktop (dsl connection from verizon.net), in sylpheed I get 'relaying not permitted' (kmail on my desktop doesn't permit me to send from my linode domain either). (Again, I can read my ~/Maildir from my desktop.)
(I checked the postfix info log on my gateway here at home, and the mails I am having trouble with aren't going through postfix.)
I think there's some conf file(s) for exim4 or for courier which I need to vi to allow relaying by myself, but I haven't been able to pin down which file. googled and googled groups.google.com, and looked at a couple of exim + courier sites, but without success.
Anyone have a clue for me which conf file I need to vi?
TIA

I had thought that debian's exim4 read the files under
/etc/exim4/conf.d/
and if I edited them, then exim4 would behave with their settings. Turns out exim4 reads
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
and after editing the files in /etc/exim4/conf.d/, you have to do update-exim4.conf to regenerate the real conffile.
Works now after I edited
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01exim4-configlistmacrosdefs
to include my gateway's ip from ifconfig ppp0 and did update-exim4.conf
