Jonathan,

Thanks for the info, but after checking to see if the IP was in the DB(it
wasn't), I went back to http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/ to see if
it still got through. Indeed it does. RegEx is my weakest knowledge when it
come to perl coding, but that hack looks like it ought to work to me. Anyone
have any other open relay testing pages they could point me at?

Thanks,
Patrick
