Ok I understand. But then I think that I have done another mistake 'cause
if I try to send a mail from a mailaddress (for example) @gmail.com to
another mail address (for example) @hotmail.com using my smtp server on my
domain without authentication, the delivery have success. This is an open
relay!!!!
What exactly do you man by "from [...] @gmail.com [...] using my smtp server"?
When you log in (authenticate) to your smtp-server, you can send mail
regardless what sender or recipient address is specified.
When you do not log in to your smtp server, the sender mail address is also
irrelevant, then only the recipient is checked to be a locally hosted
address.
I cannot believe that you managed to configure "hotmail.com" as a locally
hosted domain without knowing that, so you were propably just logged in to
your server via SMTP (or, as written by Jay) you are connecting from an
address that has relaying privilleges granted via "smtpaccess" file(s), e.g.
127.0.0.1.
