[Fwd: ezmlm warning]

[Walter Coole]

I get occasional warning messages from ezmlm.  Is this a problem with ezmlm (ie
it's attempting to relay and my isp is (properly) refusing to do so) or is it a
problem with my isp (exmlm isn't attempting to relay)?

It seems to me that relay has been used by spammers to get around anti-spam
filters and that domains that accept relay are being put on the
real-time-black-hole list.  Am I confused?
