I tried this and it gave me:
:Relay test: #Test 9
>>> mail from: <spamtest@207-8-229-57.pe2996-1.ppp.talon.net>
<<< 250 <spamtest@207-8-229-57.pe2996-1.ppp.talon.net> is syntactically 
correct
>>> rcpt to: <nobody%mail-abuse.org@[207.8.229.57]>
<<< 250 <nobody%mail-abuse.org@[207.8.229.57]> is syntactically correct
>>> QUIT
<<< 221 Pretzalz closing connection
Tested host banner: 220 Pretzalz ESMTP Exim 3.35 #1 Fri, 05 Jul 2002 
12:12:09 -0400
System appeared to accept 1 relay attempts

Is this something to be concerned about?
