or perhaps he didn't understand the relay control stuff w/ tcpserver
and didn't have rcpthosts in place or some such. there have been
plenty of people who have innocently not understood that process
and removed the file. i would not call it a purposeful breaking of
qmail. and if you don't know that the percent hack stuff removal is
"dumb", you may do it not knowing any better. inexperienced is not
dumb.
knowing something was broken and not doing anything about it
until blacklisted is a different story altogether.
