[Out of curiosity, I used Paul Vixie's Web based rlytest to see if
CPM practiced what she preached about spam. Needless to say,
her ISP was a potential point for spammers to relay their bulk
mail. When i mentioned it to her so she could report it and
have it fixed, she replied..]

Nope. No blackhole. The system, mack.rt66.com is a spammer's wet
dream.
> Oooh.. PLEASE give me material to abuse her with!
Sure thing! For one, here's headers from the most recent spam:

For another, this should be proof enough:
TELNET : mack.rt66.com 25
ENTER : HELO
ENTER : MAIL FROM:
ENTER : RCPT TO:
RESULT : When it doesn't say it won't relay, do the following.
ENTER : DATA
ENTER : Subject: Nyah
Looks like this domain is a spam relay to me.
.
Then the message will be queued and sent. Not exactly rocket
science, eh? ;)
