Is there a link to this "Blackholed" list.  I would like to make sure that
we don't get "Blackholed".  I inquire because after reading information from
there site, I found out that if one of our customers sets up a mail server
inside one of our Trusted IP blocks and sends the mail from his server to
ours, we wil forward it on because of our Relay Rules.  Even if we used the
SMTP Auth, he will still be able to send through our mail server.  This in
turn will result in our Mail Server being "Blackholed".  Thanks for any
advice.

Chris

Most people who run open relays say that.  Until the spammers start sending 
mail through their servers.  The spammers WILL find you.  There is a reason 
that people use lists such as ORBZ.

Note that you ARE an open relay, and you ARE offering free mail service to 
spammers.  If you want help closing it, see the previous E-mails.

There are 2 ways:  "Relay for Addresses" or "No mail relay".  See the 
previous posts for more information.

When we got listed in ORBZ (we run an open relay intentionally), we got out 
quickly, using their automated system.  Of course, if you are an open 
relay, they ain't gonna let ya out.
