Do you have the external IP address of the mail server itself listed among the addresses allowed for relay? If so, remove it because it is not necessary and does allow some messages to be spoofed and relayed. I found this caused us to fail the MAPS RSS relay test and as soon as I removed the mail server's own external IP, the test was passed we were de-listed and everything worked great.

I have always had it set for "Relay for Addresses" with only my internal ip addresses inside the firewall listed. It wasn't a problem before, just recently it seems like more of these sites are coming up with new and more restrictive tests. The IP being blocked is 38.201.52.2. It shows the format of the test, but I don't completely understand it.

I assume you are using "Relay for addresses" (*exactly* that setting), since you aren't using "No mail relay" (you can please double-check this -- anything except those two settings makes you an open relay)?

What is the IP? Does ORDB.org show the format that was used to relay the E-mail?
