well how do you mean. By putting a domain into the rcpthosts file, qmail 
will effectively accept the mail, queue it and deliver it to the better 
preference MX hosts. [1]

So, if you wanted to relay mail for specific domains, then yes, you could 
enter them into the rcpthosts file...

If on the other hand you wanted to run a smart host mail relay for your 
users, then you would need to enable selective relaying, and Chris Johnson 
has written how to do this on this website (linked from www.qmail.org).

[1] Which is why, if your mail server is the best MX preference host, but 
ony has the domain name listed in rcpthosts and not virtualdomains or 
locals, you get a bounce akin to "uh oh, that domain is in my rcpthosts, 
and i'm the best pref mx, but it's not in my locals or virtualdomains file"...
