RE: Relay test on abuse.net
Was the message relayed? My guess, NO. If it wasn't delivered its not a problem. What part of "THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY." doesn't make sense? -Original Message- From: Jairo Marciano Silva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Relay test on abuse.net My server failed in Relay Test 6 in www.abuse.net. The result is: Relay test 6 >>> RSET <<< 250 flushed >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 ok 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. Can somebody help me ? TIA Jairo

Jairo, No, your qmail is OK, unless you've enabled percenthacks (if you're not sure, then you haven't, it's disabled by default). Percenthacks control outbound relaying eg. user@host%relay_host I think it's something to do with the way qmail first accepts the message, the test on abuse.net thinks that qmail is willing to send the message.

Ok, so I'm gonna take a ride in the subject and ask about my relay test on mailabuse.rg... :Relay test: #Test 9 >>> mail from: <<< 250 ok >>> rcpt to: <<< 250 ok >>> QUIT <<< 221 nicholas.cybershark.net Tested host banner: 220 nicholas.cybershark.net ESMTP System appeared to accept 1 relay attempts Connection closed by foreign host. So, this means I am vunelrable to SPAM?

Re: Relay test on abuse.net
No, unless you have enabled the percenthack '%' (see http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#percenthack for details) you are not a relay. Please stop with the questions unless you actually check for answers first. Daniel Duclos writes: > On Mon, 16 Apr 2001, Tim Hunter wrote: > >> Was the message relayed? My guess, NO.
