I think relays.ordb.org is not working any more. I had the same issue, removed it and the problem was solved.

Re: [toaster] Mailing List question
Ok, here is an update... the server clamed down for the last few days after blocking more and ore of APNIC addresses and LACNIC addresses. But I have seena huge increase in .ca sites now and all doign the same things... RCPT to to an invalid user. While the front end toasters are coming back invalid user and rejecting it, the frequency has dramatically increased. I was running for a few days here about 60/1600 now, its back full all day again. Its nuts! I read all I coudl about open relays and have tested the servers and they came back clean BUT I noticed I did not have the host names int eh RUN file as shown. Ok that done, I reran the abuse.net tests and I failed??? Huh? Now I understand that these tests really are inconclusive, but when I used to run sendmail (don;t throw anything on saying that word), they used to be pretty accurate. Are there any conclusive tests to run on any of the front end server? I built my toasters within the last month here and followed the instructions to the T. so To fully test one of the servers, do I need to remove the RCPTHOSTS entries and the SMTPROUTES files? and just leave the entries for the local machines? Looking at the QMAIL logs, only the qmail-smtp/current log has anyhting in it. Thats the way I want it.. only incoming, scanning, valid user, then forward. Nothing is to be sent out. I wold assume that IF it was an open relay, that anything accepted to be replayed out woudl be in the qmail-send/current file. Of which I do not have one because nothign gets sent out through the toaster servers thanks in advance. Nitch. Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs. http://music.yahoo.com/unlimited

Re: [toaster] Mailing List question
there are references to adding the hostname all over the mailing list otherwise its an open relay. So I added it to the qmail-smtp run file as such: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd [HOSTNAME] \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 21 [HOSTNAME] is hte actual name of the host its running on. Why? in the later version does it NOT need to be here? tia. --- Rick Macdougall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nitchi DaMon wrote: Ok, here is an update... the server clamed down for the last few days after blocking more and ore of APNIC addresses and LACNIC addresses.
