Hello Justo et al,

I know that my server 62.8.64.4 is very secure [1] and cannot be used
as open relay by hosts other than victim hosts in my +relay_from_hosts.
However, I know this problem emanated from one of the
servers
that use this box as a smart host. This is what I'd like to identify.

BTW, does someone have a way of checking if a mail being sent is cascaded
within Exim? I am thing something like checking for "Received" headers:
If there are two levels of those, then I'd like to reject the message.
This is an idea just coming into my mind:

(a) mail from a MuA into my server never have "Received .." headers
    initially, yes?
(b) mail from server C to Server B, then to Server A has two levels
    of "Received headers", correct? This is what I'm wondering if
    anyone has checks for, or even if it's sane to think that one
    can do such checks.


What I am aiming at is a situation where if the server submitting
a message is in my +relay_from_hosts, then two levels of Received headers
is potential open relay, so reject.

Ideas are welcome.

[1] If someone can discover an glaring hole, I welcome it.
