So, an email to you was accepted for you.
I fail to see the problem.
Looking at the site given,
<URL:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~remmie/relay/>
I will say that the page could do with more helpful information.
Eg, "the recipient should not be in a domain which the server is
supposed to accept mail for, otherwise if the server functions correctly
then you'll get a false positive".
Do you have a login on a box somewhere else, which can receive email,
and which the [166.82.96.6] should _not_ accept email?
If so, try _that_ recipient, and [166.82.96.6], in the web-page.
If not, just don't worry. The results are being misinterpreted because
the web-page is not clear about the required pre-conditions for the data
which you supply. Your mail-server accepts mail for its domain. Well
duh!
