No its not. its logical:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] connects to your qmail via SMTP
with a mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
now qmail checks rcpthosts to find out if whatever.com is a host it
accepts mail for - for delivery. if yes, it delivers them according to
your qmail setup.
if not, it checks if the sender's IP address is a relayclient -
if it is a relayclient, qmail forwards the mail to the Mail eXchanger for
whatever.com
if not, it sends the error "not in my rcpthosts".
thats very basically what your SMTP server does,
and you better understand it to understand whats going on.
