Nothing is wrong with that, the output from that test should also show the 'Relay access is denied'. Zimbra is not, by default, an open relay unless you've made it one.
Sorry, I'm relatively new to email trasport systems. Please take this post as an help-request not something against zimbra (which I'm evaluating for my company).

I made a handmade test. From a remote host I telnet my zimbra on 25 and after this sequence:

helo ....
mail from...
rcpt to...
data
.

zimbra accepted my email. From the admin console I can see this email (I paused it) and here is the screenshot (it's in italian). Obviously my domain is not super.com or poor.com but it is ciavatta.hopto.org (a no-ip.com test domain, created for this zimbra evaluation).

Now, I'm running ubuntu (ubuntu-8.04.3-server-i386.iso) and zimbra CS (zcs-5.0.18_GA_3011.UBUNTU8.20090708092550.tgz). I don't think I have changed something in zimbra configuration. But, as I'm human and not perfect, maybe this is my mistake. Can you guys please help me locating my conf mistake ? I'll post here all of my configuration files, just say what.

Thanks in advance,
Leonardo.
