I visited http://www.abuse.net/relay.html and noticed
that I failed test number 9. I have used the latest
patch and enabled SMTP auth. How can I correct this
situation?
The output of the test as below:

Relay test result
Hmmn, at first glance, host appeared to accept a
message for relay.
THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY.
Some systems appear to accept relay mail, but then
reject messages internally rather than delivering
them, but you cannot tell at this point whether the
message will be relayed or not.
You cannot tell if it is really an open relay without
sending a test message; this anonymous user test DID
NOT send a test message.
