An open relay test mail server is a server that allows anyone to send emails through it, without requiring authentication or authorization. This can be a problem because it can be used by spammers to send large volumes of unsolicited emails.

Here are some ways to test if a mail server is an open relay:

  1. Use a tool like Open Relay Test: This is a simple online tool that allows you to test if a mail server is an open relay. Simply enter the IP address or domain name of the mail server, and the tool will send a test email to see if it is accepted.

  3. Use a tool like Open Relay Checker: This is a command-line tool that allows you to test if a mail server is an open relay. Simply enter the IP address or domain name of the mail server, and the tool will send a test email to see if it is accepted.
