WEll,but if I've two domains in rcpthosts:
somedomain1.com
somedomain2.com
any user on somedomain1.com able to send any mail to any user on
somedomain2.com & vise versa.That's not good,especialy if U're using
.com & .net as a wildcard.This is a kind of mail relay. That what I meant by
"this domain is able to relay".
