Thanks for the suggestion, I had forgotten about that site.
"Relay test result
All tests performed, no relays accepted."
I had assistance from a Sambar guru [thank again James] with my mail
settings a while ago, so I believe I am as safe as I can be - from my end.
It's all the attempts that are bothering me, its really gotten a lot worse
lately.
Thanks again!
