Ah, then qmail is a tool that spammers can use to 'joe job' innocent
victims.
Adding qmail to my 'shoot on sight' list, along with brain-damaged
Anti-Virus software that returns "you sent us a virus" bounces to the
poor innocent bystander who's address was hi-jacked by the virus.
Permitting it is one thing, but making the brain-damage mode the
default behaivor is inexcusable.
