Qmail's default installation will prevent other sites from using
you as a relay. That's because it puts the local domains into the
files control/locals and control/rcpthosts.
The FAQ document describes how to allow your local machines to
send mail anywhere in section 3.4 (possibly with assistance from
section 5.1).
