Hi,
We've had qmail working splendid for a while, but
just got a new problem when the free RBL services were
discontinued and there are less sites we refuse based on ip:
Apparently, spammers send mails to nonexistent users and
rely on qmail bouncing this to the reply-to adress. By setting
the reply-to to a suitable adress you get relaying, albeit
wrapped in a qmail bounce-message.
Now, it is of course possible that we configured everything
wrong, so we'll be happy to stand corrected :-)
However, as far as I get it, qmail-smtpd never checks for
users (like e.g. sendmail that bounces on smtpd-level).
I guess we're not the first ones to be hit by this, and
it should be specific to qmail, so what should we do?
Sincerely,
Erik
