Yeah, the hosts.allow bit presented a bit of a surprise to me at work a
while back.  It also behaves *completely* differently than most applications
where hosts.allow/hosts.deny isn't allowing access.  Most services simply
refuse connections or close connections immediately (accepting no data);
sendmail allows a connection but gives a 550 error to everything beyond a
very small set of commands.  (EHLO, HELO, HELP, QUIT)
