The information he provided looks incorrect and dangerous regarding
rcpthosts:

Bzzt. Wrong, and hugely dangerous. Unless you actually are a listed MX
for the domains in question, you should _not_ list them in rcpthosts.
You set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable for hosts that should be
allowed to relay (e.g. your local LAN, etc.), and then the domains don't
matter. In the configuration cited above, this host is now an _open
relay_ for ebay.com and staples.com -- any host on the internet can spam
these domains, and involve you....I shudder thinking of the consequences
of this...
