I am looking for an open relay, just one for learning purposes. I looked on google, various searches, and nothing turned up, I also looked for open relay scanners, but the only lead I got was a scanner used on *nix and I'm on Winbloze. If you do know of one I would appreciate you PMing me with it, as I don't want anyone to abuse it by posting it out in the open.

If anyone happens not to know what an open relay is and cares, I'll give you a short introduction. An open relay is a SMTP email server that allows 3rd party relay of email messages. (all that junk mail you get, and you can't figure out where it came from, is sent from open relays) Normally an email server, such as Yahoo or Hotmail, will allow its users to send email anywhere in the world, it will also accept email from anywhere in the world as long as it is addressed to a user of Yahoo or Hotmail, what it will not do is allow a user of aol.com to send an email to someone at mail.com.

Open relays used to be useful, now they're used mainly to send mass emails from undiscoverable soliciters of junk mail. Normally the owner of the server isn't aware this is going on, and once he finds out his resources are being put to other uses, he'll take the proper steps to disable the relay option.

Brief intro, if you want to know more - google it
