Hello Kevin, No, I don't have an open relay UNLESS something broke with Exchange (5.5) in the past month and www.ordb.org open relay tests don't work. Should I run a different test, can anyone recommend another open relay test?
I patched up the open relay (Exchange Server FLAW IMO) years ago.

If there is SPAM in your outbound queues, then you are being used as a SPAM relay, which is something you should REALLY avoid at all costs. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Chenault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]=20 > Posted At: Friday, December 13, 2002 3:23 PM > Posted To: Exchange > Conversation: Exch5.5 - IMC (port 25) going down every=20 > morning (for past 3 week s) > Subject: Re: Exch5.5 - IMC (port 25) going down every morning=20 > (for past 3 week s) >=20 >=20 > Perhaps you should close your machine against relay. >=20 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Shawn Connelly" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 1:19 PM > Subject: Exch5.5 - IMC (port 25) going down every morning=20 > (for past 3 week > s) >=20 >=20 > > I am wondering if you have the same problem I am experiencing. > > > > Are you using Exchange 5.5? > > > > For the past 3 weeks, my IMC has been going down (port 25=20 > down) every=20 > > morning around 4am.
