Bob,
You're right but I recall that one of the HOWTO's or similar states that for users
without a permanent dial up connection the risks are low. I guess that using it is a
quick fix to reduce DNS lookups that we all seem to have problems with.
The sendmail readme.cf states "if you are inside a firewall and have only a limited
view of the internet host name space, this (ie not using accept_unreoslvable_domains)
could cause problems".
The choice is yours, as they say.
