I'm not sure I understand what was tested. If the email is for you, it
should relay. Are they saying your server was used to send email to a
third party? You need to have someone outside your server who isn't in
your POP before SMTP test it.

That's exactly what abuse.net do, or not ???
I used a external email address ( a hotmail like ) in the abuse.net relay
test.
So, abuse.net don't know any of my users, and password....
But, i revceived the 'spam' relay test mail....
