After reading your original message, I looked around the first 20-odd

relay checkers and lists of open relays google could find for me

(search string: "mail relay test").  Some these sites in turn link to

extensive lists of publicly available lists of open relays, but I

never found any indication that any of our servers (all spamd

protected) were on any of them.  
I take this as an indication that at least the more commonly used ones

do not behave as you suspect.  If other, less common ones or or pay to

use lists are more trigger happy and as a consequence offer less

accurate data than the free ones, that is of course unfortunate.
