Fair enough. I mentioned the machine's Postfix configuration to imply
that even hijacking the local "sendmail" binary would not permit an
attacker to route mail anywhere but to the defined relay host.

Using something like "swaks" (not installed) or even "telnet" would
potentially be possible, but is unlikely to work for sending spam in
volume. One would need to target a honeypot address to warrant a
reputation hit from low-volume mail.
