good - that's a definitive test (so far). any new relay-holes which pop up are
added to the tester instantly
now, do a reverse lookup of your machine against
rbl.maps.vix.com
relays.mail-abuse.org
relays.orbs.org
(if your ip is 1.2.3.4 do "nslookup 4.3.2.1.rbl.maps.vix.com"... if it returns
a value like 127.0.0.2 etc, then go to the websites (that hostname will do) and
fill out teh form saying "I've closed my server, pls take my name off your
blackhole list"
