No. Whether he is actually crazy may be subject to debate, but what he
suggested is wrong. :deny as the last line of his rules file will cause SMTP
connections that are not coming from his local LAN to be denied altogether.
While this will stop relaying, it'll stop it at the expense of being able to
receive mail from the Internet at all.
In short, do *not* put :deny as the last rule (or any rule) in your rules file.
