I just checked my system with nessus, and one of the reports is that smtp (25/tcp) INFO The remote SMTP server allows the relaying. This means that it allows spammers to use your mail server to send their mails to the world, thus wasting your network bandwidth. Is this saying that my machine (and I suppose every other stock 4.0 machine) is an open relay? Or am I misreading this? hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
