Been there just yesterday :) Are you using a proxy server? If so, do it
have a internal IP address? If so, then remove that address from your
replay mail for in SMTP security.
The list was just discussing submasks. If your proxy is 192.168.0.1 then
your relay would be 192.168.0.2 somesubmask number
Use samspade.org, grc.com and hackerwacker.com to test you open relay.
I feel your pain
