Actually that will have set it up to accept mail from the internet,
but only allow sending mail from localhost.

If you really don't want the box to receive any mail then you want one
of the smarthost options iirc, that way your box sends mail but it
expects all replies to go somewhere else (note that you really should
have a legitimate reply address)

No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a
significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
