It's no longer an open relay.

Large sites *can* run qmail properly. People--even people at large
sites--make mistakes.

Arguably, qmail should deny relaying in the absence of
control/rcphosts. Hopefully this will change with qmail 2. BTW, the
historical record shows that the by-the-docs qmail installation
disabled relaying well before the by-the-docs sendmail
installation. qmail was anti-relaying before anti-relaying was cool.
