Those aren't holes. One can legitimately accept mail for those addresses
and as long as it isn't relayed to the final destination the server is
relay secure. The designers of those tests have implemented their
testing criteria improperly.

I am using Interscan Virus wall as my incoming smtp server on port 25;
which then forwards my mail to the Exchange IMC on port 6000. I have
been testing against open relay testers and I always fail the one or two
tests where they spam my domain name. I am assuming this is because
Interscan cannot look up usernames to see if the mailbox is valid? For
that matter I dont think Exchange 5.5's IMC does either?

Anyway to close this last hole? Suggestions? I worked hard to get off
all the RBL's the last mail admin had gotten us on  . . .

We used to use Netscape's mail server back when it was free for educational
use.  At the time, we did have a closed relay system, but since our server
wouldn't respond with a 550, we got blacklisted.  It took us quite a lot of
effort to get the various Anti-relay sites to accept that we were a closed
relay.
