| There are sites out there to do scanning of your external IP,
| that [ may ] give you a good idea.
| Here is an example:
| http://scan.sygate.com/probe.html
| http://scan.sygate.com/stealthscan.html
as an FYI, there is also at least one site which will do
a scan for being an open mail rely. from my notes ....

Subject: open mail rely test
1. Log onto your mail server.
2. As root [ bletch! -blf], issue the command:
telnet relay-test.mail-abuse.org
3. Wait for it to finish and read the final message.
It will tell you if your server is an open relay
cheers!
