I have two questions:
One if the smtp relay is closed and bombing set @ 9 and 4 secs

How are they able to send thousand of messages spooled to send out. It appears they are not able to get out as I receive all of them back as undeliverable messages. Except the only way to stop if for awhile is to go into results and delete these files. Their is nothing in send or defer folders. But after awhile they start sending more. So them must be getting some information back that it is somewhat working. Any thoughts on stopping this would be greatly appreciated. It occurs throught a 24 hour period.

Also is it possible to see and/or collect email messages of who might be looking for an open relay.

Example: if they were using telnet to test for open relay.
Or is their another test. I used tips from novell it says relay closed.

Thanks is advance for any suggestions
