<p>In some simple tests of mail relays James appears to be an open relay, properly configured it is not. </p>
<p>Because James is an email application platform it currently accepts all mail delivered to it via SMTP for processing. Only after the mail has been recieved does this processing begin.</p>
<p>This means that James accepts Spam. However the default configuration, and any sensible re-configuration has a number of anti-spam measures which will prevent the re-transmisson of spam from James. This makes it a blackhole for spam.<br />Danny Angus</p>

+ <li>You could alternatively give people an email address with IP addresses. Most people will think it's a very strange email address, but hello@[192.168.0.1] is a valid email address. Note that you need to wrap the IP address in brackets.</li>
