You have a few options:
1) Use tcpd (tcp_wrappers) with qmail and use it's /etc/hosts.allow to
setup the RELAYCLIENT variable.
2) Use the relayclient patch from www.qmail.org to get the
/var/qmail/control/relayclients file which does the same thing.
3) Use one of the patches from www.qmail.org that'll let anybody relay
as long as they do a POP3 check first, which more mail clients do.
Another user asked why only Netscape is doing this and not
pine. The reason is pine is probably sending mail via /usr/sbin/sendmail
(which is a wrapper to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject), and Netscape is
sending via SMTP.
