The idea was that you can now add as many other domains you want to the
file and it will work without changing the configuration file.

I've already added yahoo.ca yahoo.co.uk to my real one. I've also added
ones that would never be valid like:

atd-clan.de
9bit.qc.ca
weblnk.net
online-bill.com
notmydesk.com

As it has the same effect.

The ACL will accept a hotmail.com only in the helo as long as the right
most portion of the domain from the rDNS matches it.

So, helo of "hotmail.com" will match law11-f54.law11.hotmail.com
