I've never heard of this type of relaying before, and all the normal
anti-relaying precautions I'm familiar with will block it. I
subscribe to mailing lists from egroups and topica and I think one
other big service, and none of them do this, or I'd be rejecting the
mail myself. I think the explanation you're getting is bogus.
