It seems like that Mdaemon SMTP server can be used for unauthorized
relaying. Mail can be relayed when sent "FROM or TO known user", it means
that mail
sent "from" the account of one of served domains always can be relayed.
There is no problem to specify any "from" user, for example, system account
"mdaemon".

250 bepe Hello somedomain, pleased to meet you

250 <alienhard@mail.ru>, Recipient ok
The message was successfully sent. Additionally, you can specify "Reply-To"
field in message header, and mail client will reply to correct address.
I can't find any configuration which will disallow it. It looks like design
error - poor criteria. Maybe expert mdaemon users shows is it right or
wrong.
Tested: Mdaemon Pro 4.0.5
