Not this one. It's my ISP's backup mail server in the states that "is able to be smtp'ed through on a <ISP> connection but not through any other connection". Which is complete bollocks - it's totally open. I sent them an email from my paradise connection at work through the open relay to prove it. A few times in quick succession actually, to add to the impact :-) That was a week ago. They still haven't fixed it. Looks like I'll have to send them some more emails through their open relay.
Actually, I'm wrong. It's not an open relay. You can only send mail to <ISP>'s customers through it. I don't know what I'm talking about. I should reread those RFCs. Doh! I think I'll go back to ignoring spam rather then trying to do anything about it :-(
Cheers, Carl.
