I guess I didn't express myself clear enough. The problem is fixed.
I just thought someone might be interested since one usualy think one
is protected when one uses qmail's rcpthosts file.
The problem was that my secondary mail server allowed third party relaying
of this form <user%domain@[ipnumber]> where ipnumber is my secondary mail
server's ipnumber and the primary mailserver allows percent hack for allowed
relayers. The reason this was worked, was because "me" was set to the domain
name that the server was secondary mailserver for and not the hostname.
The problem could be solved in three ways:
* changing me to something that the mailhost was primary for (like its
hostname).
* Turning off percent hack at the primary mailserver.
* Don't accepting the secondary mailserver as an allowed relayer at the
primary mailserver.
I choose the first option. The second option will be implemented
shortly when we upgrade the primary mailserver.
