I didn't find this test very accurate. Look this log : ================================================= $ telnet mail-abuse.org Trying 204.152.184.74... Connected to mail-abuse.org. Escape character is '^]'. <<< 220 xx.xx.xx ESMTP >>> HELO mail-abuse.org <<< 250-xx.xx.xx :Relay test: #Test 1 >>> mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250-PIPELINING >>> rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 250 8BITMIME >>> QUIT <<< 250 ok Tested host banner: 220 xx.xx.xx ESMTP System appeared to accept 1 relay attempts ================================================= Do you see answers on MAIL FROM and RCPT TO ? I don't (because I have tried manually). 250 Lines that mail-abuse asumes as answers are in buffer from first command-HELO. Maybe it is not correct to send 3-line response but when you try same commands manualy, you will get totaly different story. Regards, Ivo.
