I got this from the URL you mention, James is in this category..

"There are a small number of unusual mail server configurations that will
yield a false positive result ("server susceptible to relay") to this test.
These servers initially accept the test message, but later take a closer
look, detect the relay attempt, and bounce it. They generally involve
configurations such as a dumb firewall proxy that accepts anything, backed
up by a smart mail hub that does all the hard work. If you are one of the
rare folks who has a mail server like this, you already know it's going to
do this, so it shouldn't be a problem. This web page is not for you. This
also means that if you go probing other people's networks with this form,
you may get false positive results. "
