Are you sure, and if so, why? What is the output of qmail-showctl?

If you're an open relay, this is the specified behaviour. It's a very,
very bad idea to be an open relay, however.

badmailfrom could do this for you, but the right solution is to close
your relay -- only accept mail for your domains. If you must provide

See the list archives -- this is discussed thousands of times.
