That's called ``relaying'', and if you relay _indiscriminantly_, then
you will eventually be abused by spammers, and blacklisted by ORBs.
(Just a caution; I know that's not what you're trying to do.)
The quickest ``solution'' is to delete control/rcpthosts, which makes you
a wide-open relay. (Now reread the caution above!)
The second quickest, if you know where your friends send mail to, is
to add those destinations to control/rcpthosts. Since they won't be in
control/me or control/locals, qmail will do the right thing. (This is
only slightly less dangerous than the previous suggestion, unless the
list of target sites is quite small.)
The best solution is to enable relaying, temporarily, from hosts which
authenticate themselves. One approach is the SMTP-after-POP solution;
You can read about it at <http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html>.
That page also gives more information about relaying and its implications.
The recommended solution, by Bruce Guenter, is available from
<http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/> _after_ you read Chris Johnson's page.
Hope this helps,
Len.
