 I just finished setting up Qmail for our POP3 and SMTP servers.  How can I
 set it up so that only people who are dialed up to us can use us for an
 SMTP server?  We have had some problems with people on competitors using us
 for an anonymous relay system.  I want it so only people with our IP
 address can use this server.  I've heard some stuff about denying direct
 telnet access to 25.is this possible?

 I followed his instructions on Configuring Qmail to be a Selective Relay
 but had problems with one step.  The command is:
 # sed 's/:.*//'  virtualdomains | cat - locals | sort  rcpthosts
 But when I run it, I get:
 bash: virtualdomains: No such file or directory
 Any ideas?
 
don't you use virtualdomains?
just define your rcpthosts file (domains that your mailserver accept mails
for - your choice-) and continue with the instructions

And did you cd to /var/qmail/control first? (I don't believe I'm asking that 
question).
