This test is not a valid test of relaying, it only tests to see if mail is
accepted, relaying is more than this it includes re-transmission to a remote
address, which james shouldn't do.

This test is explained *HERE* http://jakarta.apache.org/james/FAQ.html#2
Make a special note of this paragraph:-
"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."

and read *THIS* notice at the bottom of the URL you quoted.
"Just because a test may have failed does not mean your smtpd is vulnerable
but is a good indication that you should investigate and confirm whether it
is or not. "
