Can you post your entire rcpt acl, and the list of relay hosts?

For reference, here's mine:

        hostlist relay_hosts = 199.104.112.184/29 : \
            127.0.0.1 : \
            ::::1
        hostlist auth_relay_hosts = *

        acl_check_rcpt:
          # Exim 3 had no checking on -bs messages, so for compatibility
          # we accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP).
          # We do this by testing for an empty sending host field.
          accept  hosts = :
                  set acl_m0 = do-not-scan
          deny    message = you villainous scum
                  hosts = !/etc/exim4/whitelist_ips:/etc/exim4/blacklist_ips
          deny    message = host is listed in $dnslist_domain
                  dnslists = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
          deny    senders = /etc/exim4/blacklist_domains
          deny    message = unrouteable sender
                  !verify = sender
          deny    message = unrouteable address
                  !verify = recipient
          deny    !acl = acl_friends
          warn    message = X-outside-us: 1
                  hosts = !/etc/exim4/whitelist_ips:/etc/exim4/greylist_outside_us
          warn    message = X-no-spam-checking: 1
                  hosts = /etc/exim4/whitelist_nospam
                  set acl_m0 = do-not-scan
          accept  hosts = +relay_hosts
          accept  domains = +local_domains
          accept  hosts = +auth_relay_hosts
                  endpass
                  message = authentication required
                  authenticated = *
          deny    message = relay not permitted
        
I'm still not 100% sure what the "endpass" directive does. The exim 3
upgrade script tossed it in there for me.
