DOMINO 8.5 and Cisco ASA 5510/ SPAM filter - SPAM Attack

Check if you server is used as a open relay. Below is a good open relay test you could perform on your server

nope it's not open relay !

but i got below, not related to SPAM issue
" Reverse DNS FAILED! This is a problem."

Please can you post images (jpg) of the Configuration document for your server, especially the Inbound Restrictions and Outbound Restrictions of that document.

If, as you say, Domino is not an open relay, it can be the standard Linux mail environment or it is the Cisco. Did you check those possibility? I know nothing of Cisco routers, but if it does something with mail I suppose it's also capable of routing/transferring mails back to the Internet.

If you open, from the outside world, your server's SMTP port using telnet, what response do you get? Example:

      telnet mail.yourserver.abc 25

If you want me to try for you, you can send me the server's IP-address or Internet name in a small mail. My mail address is in my EE-profile.

And another open relay check is this site:

Please advise !
