Hi Tina - as a followup here are three more lines that must have dnl in
front of them to prevent relaying:
#  FEATURE(relay_local_from). This feature allows relaying if the
message claims to originate at your domain. Since forging this address
is trivial, this is probably a bad idea.
# FEATURE(loose_relay_check). This turns off checking for explicit
routing through your host, such as target%[email protected].
# FEATURE(promiscuous_relay).   This is the absolute worst one to have
turned on.
