right config to allow send emails from an external computer

Hello,

I have exim4 runing fine in one server i manage, and now i'd like to
configure my mail cliente (evolution) to send mails with my MTA.

I can't relay mails from IP since the IP from my laptop will change
several times, I am on the road :), so I don't know how to achieve this
goal.

I read something related with exim using a kind of allowed list by
origin with

relay_match_host_or_sender
sender_address_relay = /etc/exim/lista_relay

But I can't find these options on exim4 and I am not sure if this is the
right way.

Please, any help will be appreciate.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best regards,

Why not use SMTP authentication? That's how most people support clients
with dynamic or previously unknown IP addresses relaying through their
servers. All decent mail clients, including Evolution, support it.
