   appends the contents of RELAYCLIENT to each recipient address
   for some reason, even if the address consists of a complete
   "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  I can't figure out why it's doing
   this (it's undocumented?) except possibly for compatibility
   with qmail (which is documented to behave this way, but
   I can't really figure out why *it* did so!).

Right.  Legacy compatibility with qmail.

And, does anybody actually use that feature which causes RELAYCLIENT
to be appended to every recipient address?

Probably not.  Inertia.
