The default (not only Debian, but also Postfix default) configuration accpets something like this: rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, but throws it away later, because there is no local user nobody%mail-abuse.org But I might be wrong by now...my main.cf is very personalized for quite a long time now and I haven't tested the defaults lately. So, Postfix appears to be an open relay to the stupid mail-abuse.org test, because the test does not confirm the relay when it receives its message back, but right after it gives it away. > yes, those option then only protect local users from receiving crap, > but has nothing to do with relaying spam. > > so my question now is postfix a open relay by default or not? No. HTH, -- Borut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- Floppy now, hard later.
