    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".
    
    220 bepe ESMTP MDaemon 4.0.5 UNREGISTERED; Thu, 16 Aug 2001 11:38:54 +0600
    > helo somedomain
    250 bepe Hello somedomain, pleased to meet you
    > mail from: mdaemon@bepe
    250 <mdaemon@bepe>, Sender ok
    > rcpt to: alienhardat_private
    250 <alienhardat_private>, 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
