qmail (note: lowercase q) denies relaying by default unless it's explicitly
enabled. Relaying is allowed if RELAYCLIENT happens to be in the
environment of qmail-smtpd.
REALYCLIENT can be set a couple of ways: via tcpd (tcpwrappers) or tcpserver
(latter is preferred; it's a neat program from the ucspi-tcp suite also
written by Dan Bernstein). I don't know what any SuSE qmail rpm looks like,
but chances are relaying is not enabled by either of these methods, or at
all for that matter. If it is that would be a security no-no and someone at
SuSE would have to be kicked. ;-)
Grab the qmail source from http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html and read through
the docs (namely the FAQ) that comes with it. A lot of questions are
answered there. Also check out Dave Sill's Life With qmail
(http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html), an all-around excellent resource.

Subject: [SLE] Qmail
| Hi,
|
| Does anybody know where I can dowload an rpm for Qmail that works
| with SuSE 6.2? I currently have Qmail set up on my box, but have
| concerns about relaying (I've tested it
| http://www.abuse.net/relay.html). Most relays bounce, but one
| test seems to get through. I'm wondering if I misconfigured it
| when I compiled it, and am hoping that a properly compiled SuSE
| rpm would fix. this.
|
| Cheers,
| GC
