Subject: [Exim] X-RBL Warning I just received
Would someone offer some help as to why I just recieved this warning. I
believe that the RBL is a good thing, but I have good reason to believe my
mail server does not allow relaying.

I have logged rejects from persons testing to see if I have an open relay
and can offer them upon request.

This disturbs me, since I don't want an open relay and wish to clear it up
as soon as possible.

The message I received is below. Private emails are preferred since any
replies I make to the exim-users list will be delayed or stopped entirely
(which is something I want to prevent).

Thanks for any help offered.

- Scott
