James is a spam blackhole, configured correctly it will accept all incoming mail, but will not relay spam. the config element you mention is actually one of the steps taken to prevent relayin as it tells james to send mail from anyone *not* in the list of IP's to the spam processor.
The test naievely assumes that because the mail was accepted then it will be forwarded which is not the case with james, or certain mail proxies. We might assume that the test will fail because the recipient of the email will not recieve it. We might also assume that had they recieved it they would have identified an open relay that they could use for spamming. d. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Latty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:08 PM > To: James Users List > Subject: This email is appearing in my spam folder... > > > > This is a test of third-party mail relay, generated by the > "rlytest" <URL: http://www.unicom.com/sw/#rlytest> utility. > > Target host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xx > Test performed by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > �A well-configured mail server should NOT relay third-party email. > Otherwise, the server is subject to attack and hijack by Internet > vandals and spammers. > > For information on how to secure a mail server against third-party > relay, visit <URL: http://maps.vix.com/tsi/ > <http://maps.vix.com/tsi/> >.� � > James is not on the list of how to�s -- > > Question; how to avoid the potential relaying? > Is it just a matter of uncommenting the following? > > <mailet match="RemoteAddrNotInNetwork=127.0.0.1" > class="ToProcessor"> > <processor> spam </processor> > </mailet> > > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
