No doubt.. It's unfortunate that they are running a daemon on port 25 on that
box..  and that it actually lets you helo and mail from.. and not until you
get to rcpt to  does it reject.. unless you use a domain its now got cached
in which case it accepts the to: and closes at data. (So, if you rcpt twice,
it'll accept it.. cuz like everyone else, its own dns server resolves
everything)

[netmask@devnull netmask]$ telnet www.oisdufoisdufoisuf.com 25
