I go overkill on this one; I think most of the tests are done in the
.2-.20 range, but others here can correct me. To some extent it'll
depend upon which RBLs you're using.
Speaking of which, many of us on this list have found
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
to be excellent at blocking spam. Your milage may vary.
The problem isn't that we've been used to relay or gotten spam. The
problem showed up when the server was tested (as it routinely is) for
vulnerabilities. The test showed that it can be used as a relay and
that means I have to take it off line or fix it or it will be taken
off line (firewalled) for me.
There are no relay exploits in 1.8b (assuming correct config).
The reason for wondering if the vulnerability is real is that the
server has _not_ been exploited and I'm really surprised since I would
have expected it to have been probed many times by bad folks.
the exploit in 1.7 _was_ real.
