try it with http://www.abuse.net/relay.html and see if it is realy open or not
I don't have to. See, I was alerted to the problem a few days ago when my logdigest email from that server exploded to over 10 MB in size (which then couldn't be delivered to my personal email server because of the default message size restriction). A spammer on my DSL subnet has been hammering that server. My (default) config allowed him to send thousands of email messages over about a day and a half before I caught the problem and corrected it. The spammer continues to try to relay mail through that server, even though I have no configured it with several blockhole lists, one of which is dinging him. I've sent a message to my ISP about it, but have heard nothing. Which reminds me: I need to make a call. Regards, dk
