That "domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)" message will only
ever result from mail injected by SMTP. Therefore, whatever MUA he's using is
using SMTP to send mail. You'll either have to set up some tcprules to allow
relaying from 127.0.0.1 (this user is using a shell account, right?), or he'll
have to use a different MUA or configure his MUA to use qmail's fake sendmail
instead of SMTP to inject mail.
