The only way qmail relays a message is if RELAYCLIENT is (explicitly) set, or
if the RCPT domain is in rcpthosts. That is the ONLY way qmail will relay a
message. There are no vulnerabilities in qmail which allow spammers to relay
messages through your server if it is configured properly. If you want to be
removed from ORBS/RSS then you should inform them that your servers have been
secured.
I have been running qmail for years along with many other people on this list
and I have never had trouble with ORBS or RSS.
