RE: AS/400 SMTP Mail relay

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My customer is using the As/400 firewall solution.  Isn't that the SMTP
server that is talking to the internet?

I guess applying PTF's to  the SMTP server won't help as CHGSMTPA has the
name of the firewall as the mailrouter parameter and FIREWALL(*YES)

Anyone have any ideas how we can stop the mail relay?

So far I've applied SF52864 and SF53394, and I'm still able to relay.  I'm
IPL'ing after SF53394 (shouldn't be required), just in case, but does anyone
else have any ideas?

Go to http://www.abuse.net/relay.html to test if your mail server is an
open relay.



One of our customers AS/400 SMTP servers was used a number of time by
spammers to relay junk mail.

We installed PTF SF52864 to stop this.  Is there a way that we can test
that
we locked it down properly?

Our ISP who shut us down said they have no way of testing it.
