I'm not 100% certain I'm "get"ting your idea here ... we do currently run inbound/outbound mail on different IPs, but the problem isn't with the connections themselves.
>From the example session transcript with spamd that I posted earlier: 250 Hello, spam sender. Pleased to be wasting your time. MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 Ok to start over. RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 You are about to try to deliver spam. Your time will be spent, for nothing. For an actual MTA, the 250 code here indicates an open relay, because we are not the MX for checkor.com. spamd of course doesn't know this (and I'm aware that fixing it might not be easy), but it is still triggering a false positive as an open relay. Since this is happening during the conversation with our inbound mail server, I don't see how filtering connections between our inbound and outbound mail servers would fix it. Thanks, - R.
