I was thinking pretty much the same thing.

Joseph sent me his config file to me privately, and it looks like a
pretty much unmodified Debian config, with one glaringly broken exception:

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : propheticvision.com :
thinklog.com : *.dynamic.covad.net : *.client2.attbi.com :
*.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net : *.hsd1.ca.comcast.net : 66.229.157.26

You're acting as an open relay for all sorts of broadband dynamic IP
ranges. That's a lot of spam you'll be relaying. If you need to relay
for known senders in those dynamic ranges, you should use authentication
instead.
