Perhaps you can clarify, preferrably by example, why you think you're

attempts with your address as the forged sender?

It was the relay test at http://www.abuse.net/relay.html that told me
I might be relaying. However, that (as I explain in a post which
crossed yours) was because I stupidly registered at abuse.net with an
address that lay in one of my domains. So it was not bounced as
abuse.net was checking for.

I am now reasonably confident that I am not running an open relay.

http://its.ausics.net you can open relay test from there if you want
another test.
