I couldn't test again & again with abuse.net, so I telnet to
relay-test.mail-abuse.org
The all test results are "...relay denied..." when I used
SMTPRELAY.tab
"205.xxx.xxx.0" <TAB>"255.255.255.0"<ENTER>

The SMTP.IPMAP.tab content still same:
"0.0.0.0" <TAB>"0.0.0.0" <TAB>"ALLOW"<TAB>1<ENTER>

1. Is it possible if spammer through other computers in my network (205....)
connect to my testing Linux server?
We have 2 production mail server, but both of them close relay (for sure).

2. POP3 / SMTP.IPMAP.tab is restrict certain IP to connect to POP3 / SMTP
server, right?
3. So nothing to do with relay, doesn't it?

4. If I would like to allow one IP, let say 205.100.10.1 so
SMTPRELAY.tab
"205.xxx.xxx.1" <TAB>"255.255.255.255"<ENTER> ??

Thanks,
Joe
