Because I'm frustrated. These relaying tests are misleading. qmail
didn't actually relay any messages. Buried in the report they sent you
is the phrase "Your mail server, therefore, may be vulnerable to
third-party relay". The key word is "may".
They should either follow up possible positives on the first test with
an actual relay attempt, or they should change their message to make
it very clear that there may not be any problems with your system.
