[lug] Need help getting my server off open relay lists

[Michael Deck]

Help! I'm running a qmail server that was, for a while, an open relay due 
to my mis-configuration. I believe it is now pretty well locked down, and 
I've tried using several available open-relay checkers on it, but they all 
report a "possible" open relay due to certain kinds of malformed addresses.

The way I have this set up (with several virtual domains), all of these 
result in an attempt to send mail to what is a nonexistent address on my 
server. These do not result in a message being relayed, so I'm not sure 
what to do to try to clear my "good name" with these lists. Can someone 
suggest?

I would like to do selective relaying but currently it looks like I'm set 
up for pop3-before-smtp which is OK as well.
