It's insecure, and if you're not comfortable applying patches and
compiling software, you're best not to use it anyway.

relay-ctrl is excellent, simple, and can take as little as a couple of
minutes to install. Your installation will be slightly more difficult,
as you're not already using tcpserver to start qmail-smtpd. You want to
remove the qmail-smtpd entry from inetd.conf and HUP inetd to stop it
listening on port 25. Then have a tcpserver listening on port 25,
starting qmail-smtpd through the usual chain plus relay-ctrl-allow.
Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" contains a sample script for starting
qmail-smtpd through tcpserver.
