No! (New qmail users often become scared about this; don't worry!)
The rcpthosts file is only for SMTP connections. SMTP connections are
usually for _incoming_ mail. So rcpthosts only lists allowed destinations
for _incoming_ mail. Usually, rcphosts will contain the domains listed
in control/locals as well as control/virtualdomains, and should all be
fully-qualified domain names.
But some of your software uses the SMTP port for _outgoing_ mail as well,
which is what made you ask your question. The answer is found at
<http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#authorized-relay>. The magic word
is RELAYCLIENT.
Hope this helps,
Len.
