RE: smtp relay tester?

From the host that will be your SMTP server, create
a telnet connection to relay-test.mail-abuse.org.

Once connected, the remote host ("relay-test") will
perform a series of tests against your host to
determine whether it allows open relaying or not.

Note:  There are a few things that will trigger
false positives, so be sure to look a bit closer
at the results if it shows you are an open relay.
