Okay, let's take your non-standard TLD example.
It'd be pretty easy to write a sendmail ruleset that would
allow anybody anywhere to relay TO THOSE TLD's but not to any
other mail server.
I'm sorry to come off so negative, Roeland, but I'm shocked
by how little research you've done here. (If you were a little
more polite about it I'd be tempted to write the ruleset for
you right now.)
