Well the problem is that they are telling you it *IS* an open relay.  If
I understand correctly, you're trying to find out whether that in fact
is the case.   The test I was suggesting should verify this.    

Brian was telling you how to go about *allowing* relaying through your
system.  I'm not sure that's really what you were looking for, but I may
be incorrect.
