Hello Danny,

Yes sir that is my mail server.  Thank you very much for doing the test.
I am not sure how the relaying was being done?  I guess everything is ok
now?  Here is a sample of the smtp file I was looking at I am not including
the actual ip address  But as far as I can tell looks like this person was
trying to relay through me? I have about 50 of these with the same ip address
doing the relaying. I did a ip block here so I know who knowns the ip. Wonder
if I should send the smtp log to the ip owner or just drop it?  [13/Oct/2001:00:05:02

[13/Oct/2001:00:05:03 -0400] OK [xxx.xx.xxx.xx] [RCPT] [0 bytes] To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
