Thanks Len

I will delete all the address and key in again and hopefully this will
solve the problem. Now is 3am in Perth and I'm so tired and I really
hope this will solve the problem.

Thanks for the help and advice and I really appreciate everyone's help.

Regards
Bo Wee :)

yes, mine, too, yesterday or whenever. his machine is not a wide-open
relay.

>What happen here ??????????????

clearly, some kind of relay leaking is happening, duh.

>Can someone please try to relay mail with my server 202.71.162.12

same old story:

mx1# telnet 202.71.162.12 25

Connection closed by foreign host.

so you have a closed relay.

>I opened one of the GSE file and here is the header

not interesting.  The only thing you should worry about is the ip from 
which it was sent and why that ip was accepted by Imail for relaying to 
non-local envelope recipients.

I would suggest noting and then deleting all your "relay for addresses" 
items and then key them back in very carefully (don't paste).

Maybe Imail's entry routine doesn't filter garbage down to valid numeric

"dotted quad" format and you have some invisible garbage in your "relay
for 
addresses" data that is leaving you open to more than you want.

You could perhaps confirm this by noting all the ip's that have raped
you, 
and see if they are in the same netmask, as Scott was getting at.
