Increasing numbers of users who are using AnalogX Proxy SMTP servers are

used it comes back as not relaying.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks as though AnalogX only checks for a
user configured email alias in the "MAIL FROM:" header to determine if it 
will relay or not. So if I find a valid email alias, I can relay mail through 
your proxy to anyone.
