Perhaps the OP's amavis is misconfigured to accept remote SMTP clients without access control: Feb 11 16:40:42 hera5 amavis[32622]: (32622-04) Passed CLEAN {RelayedOpenRelay}, [72.9.103.50]:5850 [72.9.103.50] <bounce+a=ACCOUNT2-c=021114CHRISFAULKNERE-e=criterion=apollo3....@am0.net> -> <criter...@apollo3.com>, Queue-ID: 886561514D8, Message-ID: <20140211214036.74cd51305...@mail.actionmessage.com>, mail_id: mf2_uVscaH5z, Hits: -1.901, size: 7991, queued_as: 174F71553D7, 2445 ms If 72.9.103.50 is a remote IP address, then the OP has misconfigured amavis to listen on remotely visible IP addresses and to accept mail from remote SMTP clients. Perhaps that's what the "RelayedOpenRelay" bit is about in the log entry. The fact that Amavis then uses a local "HELO" name is not surprising. The fix is to not aim the amavis shotgun at foot. -- Viktor.
