also checkout qmail.org their is info about this. and if you want a
real kick check out the archives for the main qmail list, there have
been many threads concerning orbs.
and a side note: the same happened to me recently. i have setup qmail
many, many times before so when i got the orbs email stating one of my
qmail boxes was a relay i just didn't believe it. well i tested it and
sure enough i was, after much banging my head on the install in
question i found i had spelled the rcpthosts filename wrong(left out
the 't' in rcpt.) which left it open to the world. so make sure you
spelled everything right. (although vpopmail creates the rcpthosts
file for you.)

Subject: HELP, I'm on the ORBS list
I set up qmail/vpopmail a few months ago and the insatll went really
well. I thought I remembered something about qmail only acceptimg
outgoing mail from people who have already authenticated...thus
elmintaing the problem for open relays. Ok I was naive and wrong.
How do I investigate?
How do I fix it!!!
