Thanks, Christoph..in order to automate this in a program (so the test
can be initiated from a system other than the mail server), I'm
thinking it could be automated (via pstools) to run on the system in
question. I'll give it a try!
Cheers,
Doug

My simple favorite... run:
telnet relay-test.mail-abuse.org
from the mail server in question (and be patient).

Thanks guys for the info..the DSBL client app is exactly what I
need..unfortunately the app I'm writing will be for Windows (the only
client I saw was for Linux). Do you know if there's a Windows command
line port?

Use the Distributed Sender Blackhole List service:
http://dsbl.org/>
They have client programs to make it easy to use the service to test
mail systems for vulnerabiliti
Nope, quite the contrary..I'm looking to write a simple program for a
client of mine that will, among other things, verify that their
clients' email servers do not have open relays.

I usually test it like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> telnet mail.huygenslyceum.nl smtp
Trying 172.16.
