It passed the first 5 tests, but came up with this on test 6: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Relay test 6 >>> RSET <<< 250 OK - Reset >>> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 OK - mail from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 OK - Recipient <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- This hotfix was applied: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;837794 Is there another hotfix needed to patch this potential relay exploit?
