hmm, iam not sure what you want to do
do you mean relaying ?
in my rcpthosts is just
domain.com
mail.domain.com
hostname.domain.com
means, it accepts mail for those people from everyone
in my /etc/tcp.smtp
there is 127 and 192
means that localhost und my private lan can relay to everywhere
in the tcp.smtp you can set wildcards, but i don't think you can in the
rcpthosts [iam not sure]
iam not really sure what you want
