Yes, yes, yes, I know, it's because somebody's spam test discriminates against the percent character. The poor maligned percent character! There's a reason why it is singled out: discrimination. Yes, Internet discrimination rears its ugly head. Too often the percent character is singled out for mistreatment. Is it one of the four primary operators in C? No, it's the bastard stepchild modulus operator. Has it been promoted in Python? No, it's the formatted string operator. Percent. It just don't get no respect. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | "Ask not what your country 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | can force other people to Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | do for you..." -Perry M.

Therefore, it's not a relay. Therefore, there is no "qmail relay opened". A relay is a machine that accepts mail from off site third parties and *delivers it* to off site third parties. You want a solution? Block all connections from the IP of the machine that tries the relay. (This is one of those brain damaged "spam tests", right?).
