I would agree that it would be best to give a warning with an opportunity to fix the problem. However, the fact that your relay was open is the source of the problem. If I found myself in the appropriate role, upon hearing of open relays in my company I'd start handing out directions to the local unemployment office. If you can't configure it properly, don't run it.
