Hello everyone.   It seems that I've been put on the ordb blacklist for
having an open relay.  From what  I can tell it is because of a pretty well
know mail hack:   @something.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Interesting -- we don't show you listing in ORDB, but do show you listed in DSBL.


I would think the easiest way to prevent this is with the use of imail
filters, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've created a rules.ima  file and placed it in my imail directory the
contents of this file are:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.*@:SPAMBOX

Is this the correct filter string?  Do I need to put it in every users
directory for every domain?

The best thing to do is figure out why it is happening (for example, if "sowherelse.com" a domain that IMail acts as a gateway for? Does it allow relaying of any E-mail from the IMail server?).


Since the E-mail is being relayed, a standard filter won't work (although an outbound filter might). When we first encountered this (actually, with "%" instead of ":" originally), IMail didn't support outbound filters, so we added a PERCENT test to Declude JunkMail that will block this type of E-mail.
