How can I add an IP range to teh /etc/relayhosts file so they can be allowed to relay without out having to enter each address seperately. If a range can't be done is there a way that I can have exim look through multiple files to see who is allowed so that I can create a file for the IP address range that way it would not clutter up our main /etc/relayhosts file. Thank you.
The /etc/relayhosts file can't be manually edited as antirelayd will wipe any changes you make to it.
Instead, you can add a file /etc/alwaysrelay and add the IPs into that file for to allow it to relay through your server. The /usr/sbin/antirelayd script will look for that file and then add the IPs into it into relayhosts file for you.
I am not certain if you can actually add a range to that file. If you cannot get it to work as you'd like, you can always post on exim.org's mailing list to see any suggestions they might have.

Thank you for your reply, it seems that the system that peruses those files does recognize subnets. Using a /24 worked for me.
