Qmail and the percent sign

I am using a version of qmail installed at my hosting company. My site has just been blacklisted with ORDB.org, as it appears to accept relaying using a % percent sign instead of the @ at sign. As far as I know, though, it doesn't anyway deliver these emails. The patches I've found don't work, I'm guessing because I'm trying to patch after installation (and the installation files don't seem to be present any more). Any ideas of how I can apply the patches without having to reinstall? I've looked through the archives here and pretty much everywhere else!

Thanks!

If you can get the patch to take, then you can just re-run the qmail make setup check to put the code in place.

Getting the percent hack patch to work on a previously patched kit can be the frustration. Not much more to do but face the music and get it done.
