Maybe we ought to ask John Levine (being a qmail guy himself) if he can add blinking text when it fails on the user%foo.com@[] test, where the test always stops with vanilla qmail: "If you are a qmail luser, CLICK HERE." .. and a web page that briefly tells the luser what's going on.

I think some qmail spam problems is due this file. Roberto Samarone Araujo

RE: www.abuse.net test and mail Qmail server - Help
Check the archives on this PLEASE!! It also seems that you didn't read the lines after that in BIG BOLDED LETTERS. "THIS MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT IT'S AN OPEN RELAY. Some systems appear to accept relay mail, but then reject messages internally rather than delivering them, but you cannot tell at this point whether the message will be relayed or not. You cannot tell if it is really an open relay without sending a test message; this anonymous user test DID NOT send a test message." -Original Message- From: Roberto Samarone Araujo (RSA) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2000 12:37 PM To: Qmail-List Subject: www.abuse.net test and mail Qmail server - Help Hi, I was testing my qmail server against relay ...

It comes with the distribution. There's also several useful links at www.qmail.org. For your smtp-accepting qmail host not to be an open relay, you must meet (at least) the following conditions: 1. control/percenthack is empty and/or does not exist 2. control/rcpthosts exists. 3. In your tcprules file for the tcpserver you use for rblsmtpd or qmail-smtpd, you have RELAYCLIENT="" *only* for IP addresses which are supposed to relay through your server. If you do not meet any of these, your server will relay. If you do not understand the statements above, you should go back to the documentation and ask for clarification on the specific statements you do not understand. Vince.
