You know what you're talking about.
My RH 7.1 sendmail.mc has only two changes from the installation version:
1. Uncomment the DAEMON_OPTIONS line
2. Comment out the FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') line
and yet when I telnet to relay-test.mail-abuse.org, guess what?
[... 17 tests ...]
System appeared to reject relay attempts
and it both receives and send email just fine.
