Re: [ossig] Streamyx IP got blacklisted from sending email!

[Michael Choo <mikechoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

POP-before-relay method has 1 big loop hole. If you have an 
organisation connected via a NAT'ed gateway, all it need is 1 person to 
be authorised and the IP will be accepted for relay for a short period 
(normally 5 minutes), in that period any other "infected" machine in 
that organisation can send out mails via the SMTP server.
