IIRC this test is sendmail-specific. I.e. Nessus reports problems with
the pipe symbol addressing (AFAIK was the pipe symbol important for
mailing with uucp). The test results positive if the MTA accepts
RCPT TO: |[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know whether other auditing
tools use the same way, but in any case you won't have a problem with
qmail - it delivers such false adressed mails to the postmaster.
Perhaps the auditor doesn't know the qmail-features as well?
