Well, the purpose of rcpthosts is to specify what domains mail will be
recieved for. If it doesn't exist, you are an open relay. If you're
sending from a certain subnet or IP, you can simply specify what IPs are
exceptions to rctphosts. Or, there are methods of smtp after pop or
straight smtp authentication if you're using a new Netscape or Outlook
Express.
Here's a good site: http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/qmail/chap2.html
