Well, it happened again to our backup server. It looks like they actually routed their test mail through our backup again which then forwarded it to the primary which then sent it out to them using the address@foriegndomain@ourdomain hack. This needs to be fixed in SIMS ASAP so that we and others are not open relays. I have all the anti spam stuff turned on in SIMS but it is in vain if there is still a hole that can be used to relay spam.This is an automatically generated mail from ORDB.org. Someone has submitted your mail server 63.95.200.2 to our relay checker a <http://ORDB.org/submit/>, and we have learned that it is in fact an open relay.For details about the test results, please refer to <http://ORDB.org/lookup/?host=63.95.200.2>.
I have removed the line
3-rivers.com = 3-rivers.com.smtp
From the router on our backup machine and that did close the hole but I need the backup to forward messages it receives for our domains to the primary server. After I removed that line from the router I submitted our server for testing again and it past their tests and got removed from their blacklist.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
