Alfresco SMTP server is an open relay?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have configured 3.4.d on Ubuntu 10.10 for both in/outbound mail and IMAP. Outbound via SMTPS and IMAP work but not inbound. Ran a few external checks on DNS config etc and discovered that my server is an open relay. How do I fix this? Already been blacklisted after only a few hours of configuration pain!

Have read many posts but seem fairly random relating to different versions and so on. Have just created the user anonymous and added to email-contributors group. Not tried inbound as still have open relay challenge.

Any pointers appreciated!

Alfresco is not an open relay.

The inbound email stuff may make it look like one on casual inspection,  but at the end of the day, alfresco isn't a store and forward email server, and there is no "relaying".
