Please, do not misinform users of qmail out there. By deleting rcphosts file, you open up qmail for third-party relaying. DON'T. What you rater ought to do, is to control who can relay against your SMTP-server with tools like tcpserver http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html package. Keep helping newbies with their search for information, but at least be sure what you help them with is corrcet.
