Thanks but, is it right if coming from Internet I enter to your mail server and
after that I send a message from your mail account to your project manager's
mail account telling he's an asshole ???
I now SPF is ideal for avoid this behavior, but I think the first example is an
"open relay" feature.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, that's normal. "Open relay" means the RCPT can be an
unrelated domain eg. @hotmail.com.
