Hi.

I just went thru this....this week actually.  I upgraded Imail from 6.06 to
7.05.  When I did, ORDB reported my mail server as open relay.  I used to
relay for local users and that is what the setting remained as after the
upgrade.  I ended up changing the relay to "Relay for Addresses".  I was
able to cover a range of IP addresses.  I had ORDB re-test my relay and it
came back clean.  

Isn't that kinda strange that you can put in a range of addresses but not
relay for local users?  Whatever works!

Hope this helps.

Samantha

Well, the real question is:  Were they able to relay E-mail through your 
server?  If they were, you have a problem, and need to figure out what it
is.

You can check your IMail SMTP log file for today (February 19) at 19:21:56, 
and I bet you'll see that your mail server did relay the E-mail.

So in order to get out of their database, you need to figure out how they 
were able to use your open relay.  The "No mail relay" requires SMTP AUTH, 
but their tests don't use SMTP AUTH, so you should double-check your relay 
settings.
