As that website states, just because the tests fail does not mean your 
server is vulnerable.  Besides, if you are concerned about the mail 
from address (rather than rcpt to), just add it to the badmailfrom 
list.  Qmail does not check the if the recipient exists before 
accepting a message, just that the domain is in rcpthosts.  Check out 
Dan's page on spam for insight to his perspective on spam control:
