+ <p>In some simple tests of mail relays James appears to be an open relay,
properly configured it is not. </p>
+ <p>Because James is an email application platform it currently accepts all mail
delivered to it via SMTP for processing. Only after the mail has been recieved does
this processing begin.</p>
+ <p>This means that James accepts Spam. However the default configuration, and any
sensible re-configuration has a number of anti-spam measures which will prevent the
re-transmisson of spam from James. This makes it a blackhole for spam.<br/>Danny
