It did everything as described in FAQ #5.4, including compiling the rules
in /etc/tcp.smtp into /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb using tcprules.

I mean the latter. When I add e.g. 'hotmail.com' to rcpthosts, everyone
inside the LAN is able to send messages to that host. If I don't, they get
that darn 'not found in rcpthosts' message. I haven't tried sending mail
out from the box itself, but I too suspect it works.
