Hi, This Web page has alot of infos about mail abuse. http://maps.vix.com/tsi/ar-test.html SMTP Relay Tester the way that I have tested our Sendmail configuration is to 1) connect to the host that the mail server is on 2) from there, telnet to a friendly host at "mail-abuse.org" telnet mail-abuse.org 3) the results are like .... Relay test 17
RSET <<< 250 Reset state MAIL FROM:<spamtest@lufa-sp.vdlufa.de> <<< 250 <spamtest@lufa-sp.vdlufa.de>... Sender ok RCPT TO:<mail-abuse.org!relaytest@lufa-sp.vdlufa.de> <<< 550 <mail-abuse.org!relaytest@lufa-sp.vdlufa.de>... Relaying denied Relay test result All tests performed, no relays accepted. Connection closed by foreign host.

Hi folks, just received a message from the "famous" :-) ORBS database claiming that our server is open for mail-relaying. Hmm, as far as I remeber, this was correct for the earlier versions and I was told (from SuSE I think, but not sure about this) that sendmail would be safe starting with SuSE6.0. Well, I did install SuSE6.0 and thought this would be ok now. I did some checks by myself and found out that the server is indeed still open for relays. Did I forget some configuration details ? Or what else can I do to close mail-relaying ? Thanks in advance.
