Here's the "Session Transcript" that postfix (http://IMGate.MEIway.com) of our
"mail gateway 1" sent me when it rejected a relay attempt by an "alleged"
orbs mailer.
Got the same a while later for our other gateway, mgw2. Each gateway got
bombed rapidlhy with about 15 msgs.
They didn't test our Imail machine because, I guess, our Imail host is not
in DNS.
