That wont be a problem if you run a reasonably recent mailserver and
configure it properly.

That said,

mjollnir:~ host seascope.co.in
seascope.co.in has address 161.58.164.92
seascope.co.in mail is handled (pri=10) by seascope.co.in

mjollnir:~ telnet seascope.co.in 25
Trying 161.58.164.92...

221 seascope.co.in closing connection

I suggest you upgrade to 8.11.3 (or at least see http://www.sendmail.org/~ca
- there are some check_rcpt hacks for 8.8.8, but it's still vulnerable to
buffer overflow attacks, for one).

Take a look at http://www.india.cauce.org then - Raju's not exactly alone in
being concerned re spam.  Lots of people feel the same way :)
