Off course there is possibility tu turn my Zmailer to accept "EHLO
localhost" but I think it is wrong solution because it can open server
to attacks and open relaying.

If you use EHLO to authenticate or protect against relay, your setup is
hosed anyhow and is already susceptible to relaying attacks. Relay
checks should be based on sender's IP and destination recipient.
