More explicitly: qmail-smtpd can use control/rcpthosts,
ofmipd does not. Therefore, ofmipd is an open relay,
no matter how you run it, whereas qmail-smtpd is
only open if you set RELAYCLIENT.

Well, we use tcpserver's -x option, for a static
list of known customer IPs (e.g. our dial-up pools).
We use a variant of Russ's open-smtp package for
roaming customers.
