In your logs and your configuration. If qmail is an open relay on your
system, you've configured it incorrectly. Give us the output of
`qmail-showctl`, along with the script you start qmail-smtpd with, and copies
of any tcprules files you use controlling access to qmail-smtpd. If you use
inetd/xinetd, give us the appropriate control files for that.

There is no such user in a normal qmail install.
Are you sure they didn't get into your system another way? A broken formmail
CGI, or something else?
