I'm not running an open relay. I am using tcpserver and allowing relaying
only for IP addresses that belong to my network (RELAYCLIENT). The problem
here is that it's one of my customers who has an application that is sending
out all this junk mail. How do I set up a filter to block until I can get
them to disable the application?
