There is the simple method of telnetting from outside, but be aware that
there is more than one way to relay, spammers have used holes such as
the % or ! interpretations in paths and it's not obvious that the mail
has been relayed until later. To be really sure request a check by a RBL
site, such as www.mail-abuse.org.
