I just checked an "in-active" domain on the box with ordb.org so I will see what it reports.

If you've had an open relay on a public IP for 8 years, the possiblity you've never been abused is remote. Whether you've noticed
it or not, or whether or not you've ever been blacklisted for it is another matter, but I can't imagine you've not been found by a
port scanner in that time. Just 'cause the junk didn't land in your inboxes doesn't mean you haven't been used for the relay to
points elsewhere.
Soonest opportunity, please close that hole, and maybe re-check your IP's on DNS Stuff for the blacklisting.

Which is the nature of my question.
Client A uses their notebook in the office connected to the 'Net via DSL, T1 (whatever) and connect to us for SMTP and has SMTP Auth configured in that piece of crap called Outlook. They know if they take the notebook home and connected it to their Cox connection they have to change the SMTP server from us to Cox to be able to send mail. Are they also going to need to turn off SMTP Auth?

Been running this way (Relay for local Users) since at least 1996.
