Description

This is most likely a user error, but having more info in the readme would be helpful. This is what I am doing.

# using mydomain.de as an example below
# IP is the external ip the domain points to
docker run -p 4444:25 -v /tmp/exim:/var/spool/exim4 -e PRIMARY_HOST=mydomain.de -e ALLOWED_HOSTS="$IP" elsdoerfer/exim-sender

in a 2nd terminal I run

telnet localhost 4444
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mydomain.de ESMTP Exim 4.82 Ubuntu Sat, 02 Jun 2018 14:09:24 +0000
mail from:$USER@mydomain.de
250 OK
rcpt to:foobar@gmail.com
550 "You are not allowed to send email"
quit

The same happend when I connect with telnet through the external interface.

Reproduce the provided docker run and telnet commands, then document the configuration and connection details needed to explain the rejection. Done means the README gives users enough guidance to diagnose or avoid the "You are not allowed to send email" response.
