I like to use the JANET tester but that might only work
for JANET sites.
The other one I often use is the one at http://www.abuse.net/relay.html
which seems to work well (and won't end up blocking your domain if the test
fails).
I'm assuming the following means it's safe for me to have this system
connected to the net. I'm now in the process of also testing with
www.ordb.com, and have already tried the telnet trick posted earlier. Yes,
I'm trying to make D*** sure I'm not an open relay!
