This only affects SMTP relaying. When you inject mail into the
queue via a local process, that does not involve SMTP relaying. So if your
web programs call /usr/lib/sendmail (the qmail version) or
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject, then there are no relaying controls; that is a
local user sending mail, and that local user is allowed to send out to
anyone.

No, this is not correct. For local users/programs sending mail, the
rcpthosts file doesn't come into play.
If your local user agent is injecting the mail using SMTP, or if you
have a series of web servers using a single mail hub for sending mail, then
you need to add them to the list of hosts allowed to relay. This is covered
in section 3.2.3 of Life With Qmail.
