Check the bug reports on exim. There is a case where a stock standard Debian install of exim (and possibly postfix) can turn out to be an open relay. What happens is the the "satellite" email server blindly forwards email to the smart-host, and the smart-host blindly trusts the satellite system because it's within the trusted domain. Between the two of them they become an open relay. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/
