Hi all,

well, I'm working at a big ISP now and I ask myself, which utilities I can
reliably use to determine if a relay is open or not.

This will also include messages being sent and determined if they will go
through.

Some public utilities, including rlytest, or spamlart, actually only look
at the responses in the dialog, but for testing if a relay may be used for
spam, I need to have a look if this really will relay or drops the message
after accepting it.

What I need/want to have is:

a script/program/cgi (whatsoever), which does the following:

is executed, takes as arguments the mail relay itself, perhaps also some
adresses (from/to) and then tries to deliver mails in any of the known
possibilites.
After executing, it should display which checks could be positive, and
then I'll wait for some time and look at my mail inbox for some new
messages, which will have been relayed.

So its nothing that is complicated...

Well, just had a look at mrt from www.monkey.org, and it looks quite
suitable, but looking for other suggestions...


TIA
Olaf
