Relaying does not depend on sender's email address. Relay restrictions
depend on sender's ip address, recipient's address and authentication
state.

when you use /usr/bin/mail, you are using local program. When you use
default SquirrelMail configuration, you are using tcp connection. Switch
SquirrelMail to /usr/sbin/sendmail or configure relaying in exim.
