Hmm, better to leave him to hack on main.cf without knowing anything, and deciding to set mynetworks = 0.0.0.0/32 because it's easier? No, good config tools make it easy to do the right thing, instead of editing config files where it's easy to do anything (right or wrong). The point of the tool would be to prevent a user making an open-relay by cluelessness.
