I was going to mention that as a solution, but I would suggest that Shimon first take the issue to his network people and let them decide what they want to do. If their answer is to use a relay and they want it on zLinux, then ok. Maybe they installed a new Exchange server and forgot to turn on anonymous access. Only they know.... Don't silently take the problem away from them and solve it on your own. (1) You're peeing in their pool (2) They don't learn anything (3) You'll get bit by something else they do down the road And, of course, make sure you have submitted a requirement against VM SMTP.
