Not sure I understand the question? If an external mail server sends email to a local user which is located on your server then it is not relaying. Sendmail accepts the message from port 25 and if it is a local user then the message is delivered. Relaying occurs when you connect to an MTA and send a message for someone that does not reside on that server. In general you do not want to relay mail, at least not as an open relay (which used to be the default configuration a long time ago). If you are saying that someone is able to bounce a message through your server to another destination then you have miss-configured the server. -- Scot L.
