Permitted Host Problem

I have Reporting Service up and running and able to send email of the
reports. I have a request from a client to set their system up so that
reports are email to approved recipients. I have the DefaultHost
(called DomainA) to the local SMTP domain, and have put in a domain in
the PermittedHost (called DomainB), in the config file. When I send a
report the the permitted DomainB, works fine. When I send same report
to DomainC, (which is not a permitted host) and that report gets
delivered also. I would think that since it was not a permitted host
the report should have not been sent. Am I missing a configuration? If
there were multiple hosts to permit, would they be separated with a
comma(,) or semicolon (;)?
The SMTP server has been setup to relay to a Smart Host for delivery.
Below is my email configuration. I show the current setup and I also
have show a 2nd setup that I have tried, but get the same results.

Thanks in Advance for any help,
Zing1atuWe are investigating whether PermittedHost is still working. If it is a bug
and this is essential functionality for you, you will have to request a
hotfix through product support.

a little more to the Permitted Host section to make it work. The
following is what needed to be added:
<SendEmailToUserAlias>False</SendEmailToUserAlias>
<PermittedHosts>
<HostName>domain.com</HostName>
</PermittedHosts>
After making these changes, was successfully able to send to the host
name allowed and any other host name brought up an error, that the
named host was not permitted.
Hopefully, this will be documented a little better in the next release
of On-line documentation.
