Re: Question about open relay

Thanks for your help Viktor.

Would the next step by to go to http://ordb.org and use some of the mail
relay tests to verify that my mail gateway is indeed, not a open relay?

Any recommendations on where to test?

Lastly, any further recommendations, if any, on how to further secure my
mail gatway?

Thank you.

Jason
