Need to close exchange 2010 Open Relay HELP!

I have an emergent need with exchange 2010 acting as an open relay.  I have checked all the settings through the EMC and they look good.  I have issued the following command on all the receive connectors and it either remove the access or said there was no ACL.  Get-ReceiveConnector “Windows SBS Internet Receive SMSCORPVS0SBS” | Remove-ADPermission -User “NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON” -ExtendedRights “ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient” .  It is still showing it as open.  Any help please!

the server has two receive connectors, the default and the Windows SBS Internet Receive.  Not sure which it is actually using as a relay.
did you check the send connector this is what allows someone to send through your server
Since enabling anonymous relaying on the default receive connector is a huge security issue ,i have suggest you to create separate receive connector

Here is an article wrote by Akhater that will guide you through it step by step

you can check the accepted domains  value
I can telnet through the public IP to port 25 and send as anyone from any domain.  I need to stop this.  Where is the accepted domains value you are talking about?  What am I checking on the send connector?  It looks the same as all our other clients that are not open relay.
