The problem is (at this point) that it is your firewall that is answering as
an open relay not your IMAIL server. Check the output you sent and you will
see what I mean. Your IMAIL server may still have issues (probably not
based on your settings), but nobody will bother to look for it when your
(Secure SMTP service :-) firewall is already serving their SPAM needs
itself. This is another example of a firewall protecting people real
systems by just being the dumb patsy itself...

"Hackers will have so much fun hacking in your brand new firewall that they
won't even bother with your boring old network"
Goes with the line. "Keep your daughter safe... only let her go to the mall
with girls that are prettier than she" :-)
