My problem appears to be my filter file, if I comment out my filter line the
server works correctly. The file filter was sent with the mail package.
Here is the transactions from the mainlog

2002-05-09 09:33:37 SMTP connection from urdvg002.mx.net [165.212.11.2]

Here is the filter file

# Exim filter
#check if this message has already been scanned
    if not first_delivery then
    finish
    endif
#send the message to RAV if it has not been scanned
    if $received_protocol is not "mail-ok" then
    pipe "/usr/local/rav8/bin/ravexim $sender_address $recipients"
    endif

Relaying is when a message is transferred from one mail server to another
mail server.

An "open" relay is when a mail server transfers email from an unknown
(non-customer) host on to its destination.

How do you "receive" it? (Via SMTP? via sendmail command line?)

Have a look at your logs.
