I discovered this utility may return a false result if you happen to be using Postfix. By default the author disables open relay yet when I ran the utility it returned am email saying my server was. I read over the FAQ file and Postfix documentation which confirmed that my installation was not configured to open relay. Can anyone else elaborate? There were known issues with earlier versions of Postfix but I recently installed the latest stable release which wouldn't fall under this flaw. > >From a mail/SMTP perspective, just use ORBD... we run every so often on our > colo block to ensure no clients are inadvertantly(read lazy) an open relay. > > http://www.ordb.org/submit/ > > Dave > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > >[mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of FreeBSD > >Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 2:18 PM > >To: isp@FreeBSD.ORG > >Subject: open smtp relays and http proxies > > > > > > > > > >I'm looking software that will allow us to scan > >our own netblocks for open smtp relays and open > >http and socks proxies.
