Looking at the mail Greg posted, he's using a Netscape Mailserver. Which
doesn't support anti-relaying. :((
If anyone knows a solution to stop the abuse of Netscape Mailservers as a
relay for spamming, please let me know. I already heard a 'solution' like:
take another machine, and use Exim on that one. But 'take another machine'
is out of the question at the moment :(
