Read the note you see at the bottom:
--
Relay test result
Uh oh, host appeared to accept a message for relay.
That means it might or might not be an open relay. Some systems accept
relay mail, but then reject messages internally rather than delivering them.
You cannot tell if it is really an open relay without sending a test
message; this anonymous user test DID NOT send a test message.

So, get an abuse.net account and use _that_ to test, only to see that your
host _is_ secure now :)
