That means that you don't have "abcdefg.com" listed in your control/rcpthosts
file.

 This is the error that a friend on the internet is getting when

This error doesn't come from qmail. Your qmail server is never seeing the
connection, so it's no wonder nothing is in the logs.

The MX records for abcdefg.com show the following:

0 glcsf.hookedonphonics.com
10 mailback.brainstorm.net
20 mail.brainstorm.net

There's no IP address associated with glcsf.hookedonphonics.com, and Sendmail
answers on the other MXs.
