After about a week of using qpsmtpd-0.40, I noticed last night that
there were an
excessive amount of emails in my queue. After poking through qpsmtpd's
logs I could see that messages were being tagged as 'recipient ok' for
domains that were not in my rcpthosts file.

After further checking of the logs, every incoming connection that issued the
"AUTH LOGIN" command was automatically authenticated, thus allowing
relaying. Apparantly this is the intended behavior of the "proof of concept"
authnull plugin.

I installed qpsmtpd based on the quick install instructions on the wiki, which
suggests moving the config.sample directory to config. It turns out
that the config.sample/plugins file enables the authnull plugin. I can
imagine that I'm
not be the only person that has followed these instructions.

Would it not be a good idea to remove the authnull plugin from the
"default" install to avoid this?

Regards,
Angelo
