The reason I posted is that even though it's an old issue, apparently now
spammers are discovering it.  If you follow the thread, it seems it's a
(common?) mistake in the tcpserver setup where the user has omitted the
hostname argument.  In that case, relaying is wide open for anyone using
smtp-auth and any user/pass.

If anyone has other details (which smtp-auth patch is at issue, etc.),
post away so it gets in the archives.
