Is your mail server an open relay?

Posted in Zimbra Server by Kevin Henrikson on October 25th, 2005

Some of you may already know about this but for those who don’t or forgot. After setting up your mail server you should run a mail relay test. This will run several tests against your MTA and verify it’s properly configured. By default Zimbra ships postfix such that it’s not a relay. However any custom config may open your server up for abuse. Always better to check before a spammer finds you!
