An easy, but not always effective, way to make sure you aren't running
an open relay is to submit your ip address for testing to any of the
numerous open relay testers out there.

I'm more curious as to others FTP setup - I don't allow anonymous FTP,
all users are jailed into their home directories, and for stuff I want
to share, I simply add a 'mount --bind /share /home/$user/share'.  Hosts
that scan looking for anon ftp get blacklisted via iptables, and those
that scan trying to use valid users get blacklisted and entered into
hosts.deny.

What are others doing?
