RE : Open Relay

Hi Mark,

Reconfigure your James and ask them to run their spam again against your
IP. In about 1 day you will be removed from their database and receive a
report by email.

Their spam test consists in sending 3 mails to your James sent to an
address looking like *@*.ordb.org. If it is properly configured, they
should show up in your spam repository.

Regards,


Diego

I'm a new james user, and i prematurely submitted my site to
http://ordb.org for what i thought was just testing to see if my mail
server was an open relay.

Not only did they report me as an Open Relay, but i've been added to
some sort of OpenRelay database.

I immediately checked the FAQs on James and found this link:
http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#2

I understand that James will indeed block Open Relay types of Spam, but
is there a way for me to convince http://ordb.org that my mail server
isn't an OpenRelay with James?

Thanks,
--mark imel

Sorry all, for kicking off this tired debate...
I had read the Faq at http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#2 (and mentioned it
in my initial email) but of course with the list threads, the full
conversation was truncated.

I certainly never meant to imply that James was an Open Relay Mail Server.
I was just attempting to get a bit more information, and also potentially
warn people from using the services at http://ordb.org when checking the
status of their mail server, UNTIL they had done some thorough testing of
their own.

I had prematurely submitted my site to http://ordb.org, and was dismayed
that i was automatically added to their open relay data base...
I kind of panicked...
Read some FAQs...
Wanted a bit more info...
Then got back to Properly configuring James...
resubmitted my site...
And was removed from their open relay data base... (Success!)

End result, I'm a very happy James user that is not hosting an open relay...
And I have the tests to prove it.

Thanks all for the information.
Regards,
--Mark Imel
