I know. I had a misconfiguration problem earlier, and I am trying to
rectify the situation. I was wondering if it was possible to setup the
qmail so I do not have this problem in the future. I figure that if I
disable that feature in the qmail, then I should knock out about 99% of the
possible ways that a spammer could use my system as a relay again.
Wrong thinking?
Thanks.
