[mikesingleton]

Anyone shed any light on this, particularly the very last try?

My server did the same thing the web page i was on tested my server many many times and the server appeared to relay a few of the messages about 90% were not allowed.

not sure what it means, ive been looking for information

my server is getting dumped on every 2 or 3 days,

seeing unknow users in current sessions

Logging is enabled see below, i expected to see a user account that had been hacked.

On one of the pages i was on, you could actuall enter your email address, so if you actually are relaying, it send the message to that email address.

It also said that just because it accepts, doesnt mean you are relaying, thet server will accept if sometimes ( no info on why ) but them will not allow relaying.

so if you dont get the email it tried to relay then your good.

I tried that page, I did NOT get an email...so that means that I am OK as far as not being an open relay, eh?
