I have a series of tests that I run manually to test the relaying. I got it from one of the testing websites a couple of years ago. I can't recall which one. It ran about 10 or 12 different tests I think. One of which would not produce the 550 relay prohibited thing when run against Exchange 5.5 but which also would not actually relay the message. If you like I can dig around for that list of tests. And/or the website.

What it does not say is how it came to the decision or what it's using as its proof. We are co.hanover.va.us and I have done a telnet to port 25 and gotten the 550 error. I'm so confused.

What is your domain?

We are running 5.5 sp3 and I have the Do not reroute incoming SMTP mail tab selected in the Routing tab of the IMS selected. The magic tool that the consultant used, and I don't know what it is, and the CFI LANguard scanner I just used is reporting that the server is an open mail relay. Now the consultant is telling us that he doesn't usually get a false hit on this. So for you exchange guru's out there, have any of you ran into this before, or am I just being a bonehead and missing something.
