Hi

I think that the end of the spam and open relays will be when the smtp servers talk only with servers with trust.

Amazingly, even though I am posting in this thread... it is *not* about spam. Don't be fooled by the mention of open relays. Open proxies are abused for many purposes, of which spam is a minor one. I've seen open proxies in recent DoS source addresses for example.
