Just a small question... "Relay access denied", isn't that an SMTP error?

Try this at a command prompt:

telnet mail.example.com 25

HELO mail.eo.cz
MAIL FROM:<hudec at eo.cz>
RCPT TO:<customer at example.com>

--> If an error already occurs at this point, then probably SpamBayes is
not yet involved? AFAIK SpamBayes is only a POP3/IMAP/procmail solution?
So SpamBayes will only do its work when the DATA command is complete and
the MTA delivers the mail to the MDA?

Or am I completely wrong here?
