I'm looking for something like the webpage described here: | http://www.freebsddiary.org/sendmail.php (Testing the relay). I tend to use external testing services, which perform a variety of tests. One reputable open-relay tester can be found at http://www.abuse.net/relay.html If you want to be a little more daring, you can use ordb.net's relay-tester to poke your server and see if it's closed. It does a variety of tests, and then emails you the results of the tests. For more information, see http://www.ordb.net/submit/ The downside to this is that there is a danger that if you *have* an open relay, it'll be listed in ORDB until it tests clean, and there are delays before the tests take place. So consider this course of action only after you've used abuse.net's tester. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
