well if your email is [EMAIL PROTECTED], then you will want to
accept mail for email addresses to somedomain.com (RCPT To:). thus it
goes into rcpthosts.
if you want to allow relaying from your local network, or anywhere else
then you need to follow the FAQ in /var/qmail/doc/FAQ.
this will tell u that u need to setup the tcp wrappers to set an
environment variable (RELAYCLIENT) from ceratin hosts that will allow
qmail to be used as a relay from these hosts.
