One way you'll know is that you'll be bombarded with complaints that
spammers are relaying through you. :-)  There's a test to check if
your mailer is vulnerable at http://maps.vix.com/tsi/ar-test.html.  If
you have sendmail 8.9.1 installed, relaying is disabled by default,
but if you're running lower versions, you'll have to add the rules to
disable it.
