No offense to all, but you are ALL wasting your time trying to convince Dean through logic on this topic. We've all been round and round the same discussions on the anti-spam mailing lists, and Dean continues to insist that he MUST run open relays.
Marvellous! We've got a load of customers who seem to refuse to use their ISP's relays when sending mail, and because we're a hosting company and not an IAP we obviously can't let them use ours without jumping through hoops (a la pop3/smtp, or constructing an ACL of every ISP they might happen to use...erm...yeh, maybe I won't do that then). Dean, can I have a list of your open relays? We'll whack in an RR that suggests they're ours (not in the headers, of course), and point our customers at those!
