yep
(Older (<6.x )GWIA versions of) Novell Groupwise have/had a problem with
this
It might look at first sight (test) Groupwise is relayable, although it's
not...

So with a GWIA relay you might end up on a blacklist, although you're not
relayable...

It happened to us :-(

Cheers!

I have heard that testing at ORDB is not a good thing if you think you
are open.  They add tested systems to the blacklist which then can make
life miserable in the long run.  Test someplace that doesn't auto
blacklist you.
