exim configuration help

I have a linux server (debian) with exim. It is configured as open relay
and I would make it secure against spamming.
In the webadmin panel I have there is only a section for exim's logs.
Can someone help me to configure exim allowing only authenticated user
to send mail?
Unfortunately I always worked with IIS and I don't know linux and
exim...So I should need precise instructions..

Also, is there a tool to load in webadmin in order to configure exim
without an ssh connection?

Thank you

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.
