I just tried sending a message to a client and got it bounced back
because "i'm on open relay." Well I'm not.. not unless you try and
trick me. Maybe ORBZ have been doing this a while and I've been
asleep, or maybe this is a new level of checking for them.
I run 2 mail servers. Both bolted down as tight as can be.
mail.west21.com at 204.89.131.70 and a secondary mail server named
ps00.west21.com at 64.21.154.2. Both are SIMS.
ps00 is the "culprit". ORBZ says that it is a "multi-stage relay"
because it accepts all mail and relays it somewhere else thereby
creating a sort of back door open relay. How do they know it accepts
mail for somewhere else? They send mail for acceptable domains for
this seconday server. In other words they send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to this secondary server. Well the mail is
accepted and sent on to mail.west21.com where it is accepted and then
bounced. That's the way it's supposed to work, so how come orbz
thinks otherwise.
Someone help me understand what I'm missing here.
