Other folks have listed good spam-specific sites, but there's
also the Internet Mail Consortium, which has been keeping
statistics of open relays since the problem first appeared;
some of the interesting numbers are:
Jan 98 55% of servers tested would relay
Jul 98 36%
Jul 99 17%
Jan 01 6%
The full report is at http://www.imc.org/ube-relay.html .
