I do have POP B4 SMTP enabled. And is see what your saying, I guess may
question or concern is if this is one of our clients trying to send spam
through our boxes or if Madison River/Galletin River (large ILEC in this
region) is running an open relay on their servers, what should I do?

I ran a dig on the viaccess.net and I don't see any pointing to us.

Thanks...
