Doesn't relay_based_on_MX cause sendmail to relay for ***recipient***
domains that it's listed as an MX for?  As in, "sure, I'll accept your
message to bob at foo.com, because DNS says I'm an MX for foo.com"?

If so, that's not what I meant - I meant having the ability to reject an
outgoing message FROM bob at foo.com because foo.com isn't one of my
domains.  I hate when I see my internal relays being used to send a
message to bob at foo.com FROM bob at foo.com, knowing that foo.com may very
well reject the message because I'm not authorized to send mail from
their domain.
