Are the messages to the "strange" domain coming from local users? If
so, rcpthosts won't help because the RELAYCLIENT setting says to
ignore it. What you can do is catch the strange domain with a
virtualdomains entry and bounce or bitbucket it.

No, that just says that any host on the Internet can talk to your
qmail via port 25, which is normal. If it had the ``RELAYCLIENT=""''
part, that would be bad: you'd be an open relay.
