k, when I try to send email from my server at home the last couple of

Mail rejected by spam filter; open relay, see <URL:http://dsbl.org/>

Now, this server is on a dynamic IP address which changes every couple 
of
weeks, so it may be that somebody else is running an open relay, and 
then
I just happen to switch IPs and catch theirs. Oops!

So, I could just redial the DSL modem and grab a new IP, woohoo, 
problem
solved, but ... what if I really am running an open relay? How do I 
tell?
And how do I fix it if I am?

I'm running RedHat, some old version I think 7 (or maybe 6). Let me 
know
if there's any other info you need.
