Sendmail log, is it relaying?


This is from my log files.

May 24 13:11:50 websrv2 sm-mta[23827]: j4OHBmZq023827: from=<Olen20@optonline.com>,
size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=brn91-1-82-234-0-177.fbx.proxad.net [82.234.0.177]

Does this mean that someone is relaying through my mail server?

The relay field there indicates the connected (sender's) ip/host.
If your domain isn't optonline.com then someone has tried relaying yes, but size=0 so no message was actually sent.
