Lou--

I've shown up on the MAPS RLB after MAPS spammed me with their open
relay stuff, and TMDA dutifully responded with a challenge.  (Must be
an open relay since they got some response from me, right?)

On the same level of ignorance can be found ISPs that tag you as an
open relay because you use qmail AND TMDA.  The scenario:  ISP hammers
your SMTP port with various e-mail challenges.  Sometimes, qmail will
take oddly-formatted To: headers and deliver them locally (can't
remember the exact format, something to do with an embedded "%").
TMDA dutifully responds with a challenge, and now you're tagged.
