How about putting in smtprelay.tab all non-routable private subnets per RFC or some kind of wildcard or special entry that matches the subnets of all installed network cards in the xmail server?
For example, case 1: smtprelay.tab 10.0.0.0/8 169.254.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 or case 2: smtprelay.tab localsubnetsonly hmm just found in http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3330.html that case 2 maybe should be 0.0.0.0/8 meaning "Addresses in this block refer to source hosts on "this" network."
