smtp server test?

[Peter Russell]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Again we have seperate machines for this we would fail your test.

But your MTA and SA can do plenty of other usefull tests. Have a read of
your MTA doco and read through the list ofs test on spamassassin.org to
see what they are.

Good luck
Pete
