This ONE ini setting is not sufficient!!

According to Lotus and ORBS (ORBS, or the Open Relay Behaviour-modification System, is a database for  tracking SMTP servers that have been confirmed to permit third-party relay. These servers permit spammers to connect to them from anywhere in the world, usually from a modem connection, and then forward the spam to its intended victims. ) the following must be done to prevent relaying:

in the Notes.ini file:

SMTPMTA_REJECT_RELAYS = 1

SMTP_OCH_REJECT_SMTP_ORIGINATED_MESSAGES = 1

SMTPMTA_RELAY_FORWARDS = 1

**Note the spelling on the second one it is NOT "SMTPMTA_OCH"

For r5, enter an * in the following fields of the Domino Directory:

"Deny messages from external internet domains to be sent to the following internet domains:"
"Deny messages from the following external internet hosts to be sent to external internet domains:"
