Hi Kevin,
Did you register with abuse.net? If so, did you test your own domain?
I just tested your domain (after creating a much needed account of my
own there) and it resulted in a false positive, the same false positive I got
when I tested my own mail server.
The test that failed was #6, which tests an email sent
from :<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
While qmail accepts initially any mail destined for (in your case) oceania.net,
the email will fail to be sent when qmail finds out that there's no user by
the
name "jlynde%diligence.com" at your domain. If there was, I would have gotten
the mail in my mailbox, which I didn't.
Check your logs, and you will see the activity from the test in there, and you
will also get the double-bounce, signifying the failure of the email.
In other words, relax... you're not relaying... have a refreshing drink and
breathe deeply cuz it's all good.
Jer
