Results from http://www.abuse.net/cgi-bin/relaytest show that 8 out of 9
relay tests fail when probing my machine. However, the last test produced
the following message:

  Relay test 9
  >>> RSET
  <<< 250 flushed
  >>> MAIL FROM:<spamtest@[216.227.21.225]>
  <<< 250 ok
  >>> RCPT TO:<"relaytest%abuse.net">
  <<< 250 ok

It appears that my Qmail setup allows relaying when % is between uername and
domain. Why would that happen?
