in thread How does one override 550 relays for Mail::Sendmail?

Oh, so you're not using sendmail but exim... I don't know anything about exim, maybe it's started from inetd, maybe from some rc startup file. Do a ps -ax | grep exim to find out if it's already running, or look into /etc/inetd.conf for exim.

HTH.

    I just checked /usr/sbin and it appears that the executable sendmail there is a link to exim but I was under the impression that Mail::Sendmail is completely distinct from the sendmail executable and that it has it's own implementation etc. I didn't see exim in the ps but it is in the smtp section of inetd.conf ... so how would I go about reloading exim's config file then? Thanks again.

        I edited the exim.conf file and took out the restriction on relays from any local domain to a non-local one... so my Debian box werks now but... the RedHat6.2 one has /etc/mail/access as you suggested at first. This already contains lines to allow relays from localhost etc. but it still doesn't werk. Do you know where any other restrictions are on how to unrestrict outbound mail traffic? I'm very thankful. TTFN.
