Yes, provided three things are true:
- the source IP must be in the xxx.yyy.zzz network
- you have used tcprules to make the rules into the cdb that tcpserver
uses
- your tcpserver process was started with the -x option which specifies
the cdb file you made in the previous step

rcpthosts lists *destinations* you will accept mail for. Setting
RELAYCLIENT in the environment tells qmail-smtpd to accept mail for any
destination, in that session.
