You're welcome to use my experimental tester at
http://www.abuse.net/relay.html. It's more or less the same tests
that the MAPS RSS uses, and is pretty similar to but less aggressive
than ORBS.
It also does the user%dom1@dom2 test, because that's a famous relay
hole in a lot of sendmail systems. If you have qmail, the tester will
note that it accepted the message, then say in large ugly blinking
letters that your system is only an open relay if it actually forwards
the message back. If you're a registered abuse.net user, it can
assign you a temporary abuse.net forwarding address so you can test
your own server using an address not in your own domain.
(Friendly hint: if you ignore the ugly blinking message and send me
mail anyway saying that the tester claimed that your system is an open
relay because it accepted the test message, I'll write back and call
you a moron.)
