The proper "proof" is to try to relay yourself, and see if the message makes
it to its intended destination. With qmail, you'll find that it doesn't.
Note that this isn't a proof in the mathematical sense. For that, you'll need
to do a line-by-line analysis of the qmail source code.

What should convince you to ignore those tests is that they are providing a
diagnosis ("Relay attempt succeeded") which is patently false (it isn't a
successful relay unless the mail makes it to the final destination, and they
aren't even actually sending the mail, just testing the RCPT TO: command).
