Subject: [Exim] Percent Hack Domains
Recently one of my mail servers was listed in the ORBS list as being an
open relay. There is a test page from abuse.net that runs through the
same checks that ORBS does, and it claims that all of our exim servers
allow

<relaytest%spam@???>

As a valid recipient. I was under the impression that if
percent_hack_domains is not set, anything with a % is denied as a
relay? Or, it would attempt to expand the local part into a real
address before claiming it is accepted?

I would appreciate help with this if possible, as more of our servers
are converted to Exim (from sendmail), I don't want them listed on the
ORBS list.

Thanks.
