Yes, I saw this info here:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#relay_mail_from but most
valuable part of my question was about the purpose or the idea behind
this, cause it's not too clear to me why allowing relaying for domain
FOO.BAR should allow relaying for SUB.FOO.BAR? I mentioned RFCs
because I had a hope to find out the answer from it but still haven't
yet...
