Not true. RHL 6.1's sendmail by default turns off *all* relaying (which is
what spamsters need to do their work). in fact, this "relaying denied" has
been a "problem" to users since RHL 5.1 when spam controls were
introduced.

Qmail may have *some* good features, but it is *postfix* that will
eventually replace sendmail in the future.
