Relay test 1 >>> RSET <<< 250 ok its reset >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok its for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> DATA <<< 354 ok, send it; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF> >>> (message body) <<< 250 Message queued Relay test result Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a message for relay. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY. Some systems appear to accept relay mail, but then reject messages internally rather than delivering them, but you cannot tell at this point whether the message will be relayed or not. If it is really an open relay, the test message will be delivered to you. If you do not receive the test message in your e-mail in the next few hours, it IS NOT an open relay. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of R.

There's a known issue with IMail allowing relaying using an obscure format (using "%") when it acts as a gateway, but anything else would indicate something new. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
