I've had issues with this before and I don't think there was ever a clear resolution to it.
I ran the SMTP test with the link above and it gets to step 17 and states that we are an open relay:
Test 17/28 (I blocked out my information for security purposes)
>>> RSET
<<< 250 2.0.0 Resetting
>>> MAIL FROM: <test@[xx.xxx.xxx.xxx]>
<<< 250 2.1.0 test@[xx.xxx.xxx.xxx]....Sender OK
>>> RCPT TO: <"test@spam.com">
<<< 250 2.1.5 "test@spam.com"@mydomain.com
Host is an open relay !
CPU time: 0ms - LA: 0.45 - 60 SMTP requests
Address: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx - Reverse: mail.mydomain.com
xx.xxx.xxx.xxx is blacklisted by Spamhaus
ESMTP: yes - TLS: no - AUTH: yes - VRFY: no - MTA: Microsoft
Average time : 0.14sec - Slowest : 0.27sec - Fastest : 0.14sec
I've gone through my SMTP settings and from what I found online made necessary changes, but it still says we are an open relay. The settings I have are currently:
Access Tab - Authentication
Anonymous, Basic and Integrated are checked
Users button - No groups or usernames listed
Access Tab - Relay
Only list below selected - No computers listed in box (Allow all computers option is unchecked)
Users button - No groups or usernames listed
Is there something else I'm missing? Can someone let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done to securely lock our server from sending out spam? I very much appreciate any help!
