I have installed qmail (netqmail version) and patched it with
Krzysztof Dabrowski SMTP Auth patch. But the mail server still
operates as an open relay.
How do you know?
I only ask because there are many ways of "testing" an email server
for being an open relay that are broken and give back false-positives
(i.e. the server is not an open relay, but the test says that it is).
Other than that, I'd suggest asking the author of the SMTP AUTH patch.
Another thing about what you said that bothers me: the mail server
"still" operates as an open relay. Did it operate as one before? Just
adding the SMTP-AUTH capability will not close an open relay; all it
does is allow people to authenticate before relaying. Think of it this
way: a mail server that is not an open relay is a mail server behind a
wall. SMTP-AUTH is a door in the wall. If your mail server was an open
relay to start with, there's no wall, so adding a door is pretty
pointless.
