Is Abuse.net's test adequate to rule out an open mail relay problem? It's pretty thorough, and most MTAs have default configurations that don't permit relay, so it's much less of a problem than it was when I wrote the tester many years ago. I don't try to check for weak SMTP AUTH passwords

This (multiple A records) works for me, at least approximately. Both Bind and MS DNS will round robin when multiple A records exist for the same hostname. What is your setup? FreeBSD 6.2 with Sendmail (initially) and now postfix. MS DNS with round robin (and TTL set to 0 on the records).
