Edit /etc/exim.conf, you should see in line 61 (or close if somebody
changed the default configuration) the definition of which hosts are
allowed relaying :

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1:192.168.10.0/24

These are the values I use, which allow localhost and my LAN to relay,
no one else. Adjust the values to your situation.

With the default configuration, which is secure, that's all you have
to change to avoid being an open relay.

Don't know what you mean by webadmin. Webmin does not include an Exim
module, but there might be one from a 3rd party source.
