Earlier also someone pointed out that SMTP antivirus solutions make you an
open relay.
I have worked on TrendMicro Interscan SMTP viruswall and as far as I
remember we were able to configure it not to relay.
Is it that I am not still sure about what an open relay is?
Can someone have a check at the server [EMAIL PROTECTED] (202.54.61.113)
and confirm whether it is an open relay. This server runs Interscan
VirusWall .
