However, in the interest of factual accuracy, I have not noticed this to be true (and there are Notes SMTP gateways on the network I run). Thre are some obscure relay syntaxes that can cause Notes to relay even if you have relaying disabled. If you don't take steps to eliminate those, ORBS will consider you a relay. But if you configure it to block all relaying, you will not get on ORBS, even though the Notes SMTP gateway will gladly accept a relay message, and then drop it later. You don't get on the ORBS relay list unless and until the test message actually gets relayed. -- Brett
