Actually, you are correct that "Relay for Local Hosts" is not a perfect solution --
but you are left out another big reason for it not being a perfect solution. It means
that you are allowing spammers to relay through your server. You are just making them
use a return address on your domain, which means more work for you when they start
spamming.

Hopefully, it has. We strongly recommend people use "Relay for Addresses" and SMTP
AUTH, if possible. But, if you still have problems with SMTP AUTH with the latest
version, another option is our "Declude Hijack" program that is now in beta. It lets
you run an open relay (meaning no SMTP AUTH required for end users or lists of IP
addresses) while still preventing spammers from sending out all their junk through
your server.
