Sorry, but I don't understand. I thought the whole point of using this
setting is that you can choose to accept mail to be relayed *to* any domain
who lists your host as an MX. NOT relay *from*. Where is the attack ? If
anyone wants to list me as an MX for their domain, they get what they
deserve.
OTOH If I do not use my own DNS caches, then I deserve whatever I get.
