I can see a good reason for allowing xxxx%y.y.y@??? where y.y.y is
anywhere on the internet and the connection comes from a machine in your
domain---you may have dialup users with KA9Q. KA9Q cannot use a smart host,
and dialup users wanting to send a mail to lots of sites will find it a lot
cheaper to send the mail via your smarthost by using the percent hack.
I can't understand why Alan wants to allow anyone on the internet to send
mail to his domains using the percent hack though.
