Try: http://www.dnsreport.com/

Run the DNS Report against a domain hosted by the mail server.  In the mail
section you should see the following if they are not an open relay:

PASS Open relay test OK: All of your mailservers appear to be closed to
relaying.
gw2.pointshare.com OK: 550 : Relay access denied
gw1.pointshare.com OK: 550 : Relay access denied

Some other relay test sites:

http://www.abuse.net/relay.html

http://www.ja.net/mail/anti-spam/STAN.html#request

http://www.ordb.org/submit/

http://www.btoy1.rochester.ny.us/Security/MailTest.php

Also, you can telnet from a mail server to mail-abuse.org and it will run an
interactive relay test in real time back to the connecting mail server (see
http://mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-test.html).
