Summary

The remote SMTP server allows relaying for authenticated users. It is however possible to poison the logs which means that spammers would be able to use your server to send their e-mails to the world, thus wasting your network bandwidth and getting you blacklisted. *** Some SMTP servers might display a false positive here.

Solution

Solution

Disable poprelayd.
