Something is wrong here. I set up qmail on Mandrake 9.1, which uses GLIBC_2.3 Works just fine if you make a few changes to the source i.e. cleaning up old compatibility code. (replace "extern int errno" by "#include <errno.h>" I did everything according instructions on <http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html>, which worked for me in the past. Afterwards I installed the qmail-scanner v. 1.16, following instructions from the howto like a Japanese kamikaze. Everything seemed to work, until this morning I noticed heavy load on my machine. There were almost 20000 messages waiting to be delivered! As this was a new, unused testmachine which should not have any queue, I checked the messages and saw it was spam! Apparently my host had become an open relay and some #ç$^-ing spammers had already scanned my host and started using it as a relay (and it has been online only since 2 days). Checking it from the outside confirmed it: my host was an open relay. BUT: my "rcpthosts" file only accepted my local domain, so it should not be relaying at all. I searched the whole day, looking for a problem in qmail. I finally worked around the problem and thereby found the cause of it: in tcp.smtp, my tcprules config file: :allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" Apparently, qmail-scanner-queue.pl ignores my rcpthosts file and lets any mail go through. I removed the QMAILQUEUE variable, ran tcprules again and now qmail is working with it 's default queuer no antivirus, but not being an open relay anymore. Had anybody else had the same problem before?
