When you use that test, are you sending the email to an address that is not on your local server? For instance, assuming that your local domain is "example.com", and that you have an email address on Yahoo as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", try filling in the test form with: Server: example.com Recipient: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and leave all other fields as they are. The important part is that the Recipient is *not* on your local domain. Then, when you run the test, do you get the mail delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or do you get it delivered to the account on your local domain that has the * alias? If it goes to yahoo, then you are, indeed an open relay. If it goes to your local domain, it is *not* an open relay, because the * alias will match *any* pattern in front of your domain name (for example, they are sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so the * alias is matching "example%yahoo.com" as the user, and delivering it to the account with the * alias. No relaying involved. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
