it's in the headers of the email he attached...

open relay = open mail relay - your mail server will accept mail from 
anyone and forward it to anyone... the sort of server spammers love...

there's a switch in linuxconf <shudder> in the servers/mail delivery 
system/basic section (or something like that) entitled "enable SPAM 
control" or something like that (pretty vague - but not infront of 
computer at the moment) that will close your mail relay so you can 
get off the orbs blacklist...

HTH - dan.
