Ok, lets try to clear something up. Open Relay is a very specific term within email systems, it is a defacto standard way of describing one particular configuration issue that, as Ed says, leaves you wide open to having a server used to send spam to others. It should have little or nothing to do

Just because he is getting 4000 NDR's an hour still doesn't indicate that he is an open relay. It simply means that someone spamming his domain name is trying to brute-force the spam through in mass quantities (probably ~50,000 at a time) by appending every combination they can think of, to the
