Did you read the howto at
http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com.au/docs/qmail-antirelay.html  ?

It really isn't that tough.  tcpserver (ucspi-tcp) package is a breeze to
install, but the INSTALL doc that comes with it doesn't explain how to set
up a /etc/tcp.smtp file and make a .cdb file out of it, which is arguably
the most confusing part of it all.  The howto above does it step-by-step.

You really don't want to run an open relay.  We won't be able to get any
mail from you :)
