Patrick,
I hate to say this, but your IMail system will relay for anybody. I
was able to connect and although I did not send a message, IMail was
willing and able and would have, if I completed the test.
You really need to use the Relay for Address setting, to get the
strongest anti-relay setting. Relay for Hosts or users, just means
the sender has to figure out what domain and username to use and
that is pretty easy. Root, webmaster, postmaster and a few others
are the first to be tried and I'm pretty sure those are likely to be
in all of your domains.
With Relay for Addresses, your users may need to use SMTP
Authentification, to continue sending via your IMail server.
