Thanks for everyone's help.. it is a relay problem.
What is a recommended relay setup for qmail in a hosting environment?
Obviously Open Relay is very bad.. but I have clients sending/receiving mail
from all over the place via many varied ISPs.
It seems that I could tarpitt.. use the envelope sender address.. use
SMTP-AUTH... etc (or combinations of above).
How do others address this issue? What is a recommended setup to be secure,
but not 'fort-knox'?
Thanks..
Charles Widdis.

Or he needs to allow selective relaying from roaming users. See
qmail.org for solutions.
