Yes, the mail came from blueyonder, and the open relay is
mail.pcc.edu.cn.

That host is already listed as an open relay on ORDB.org:
bash-2.05b$ host mail.pcc.edu.cn
mail.pcc.edu.cn has address 211.65.116.10
bash-2.05b$ host 10.116.65.211.relays.ordb.org
10.116.65.211.relays.ordb.org has address 127.0.0.2

If you feel like getting a hold of them, send them here:

Funny, though... the mail server is running a recent version of
Sendmail.  It shouldn't be an open relay unless they cocked up the
config.  Maybe they just don't know how to do SMTP AUTH.

If you run your own mail server (or your friend does), configure it to
use ORDB's RBL, and help people figure out their relaying problems.  If
you don't, ask your ISP to do so.
