Of course it's relayed! But it shouldn't have been relayed, as both the MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: address were outside the casema network (both were @dsbl.org), so it's definitely acting as a relay. The source IP address should not cause such checks to be skipped. > This is the first time I heard of a testsite like this, and > already I have come to the conclusion that it's completely > worthless. :) Well, you should re-think that. A mail server that accepts mail that is addressed to AND from addresses not beloning to its own network is by definition an open relay. No matter what source IP you use for the STMP connect.
