update to very old rule

The new anti spam processing in exchange 2007 now replies to all  
rejected messages with a "5.7.1" error, regardless of the reason for  
rejection.  I have changed the rule that alerts on 571s to require  
that the server specifically mention the word "Relay" in the 571  
message.

Added: content: "relay"; nocase;

So now the rule looks like this:

alert tcp $SMTP_SERVERS 25 -> $EXTERNAL_NET any (msg:"POLICY SMTP  
relaying denied"; flow:established,from_server; content:"550 5.7.1";  
depth:70; content: "relay"; nocase;  reference:arachnids,249;  
reference:url,mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-fix.html; classtype:misc-activity;  
sid:567; rev:11;)

This has been 100% effective since I made the change.
