Um, no, I'm afraid it means your SMTP software
bombed. It failed to go to
the reset (initial) state after the second test, so the test sequence was
aborted, and the remaining 16 or so (?) tests weren't carried out. I
wouldn't trust that software just yet...
Relay test 2
>> RSET
<<< 250 OK
>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest>
<<<
550 Closing transmission channel.
Relay test 3
>> RSET
<<<
Actually as near as I can tell, the reason test 3 is failing is because VMS
reacted to test 2 by breaking the connection. This seems to be verified by
my results from telneting in on port 25.
