Wikipedia.org e-mail

Should it be possible to send e-mail to addresses like
root [at] wikipedia, postmaster [at] wikipedia, etc? At the moment,
sendmail doesn't accept connections except from the local machine on
loopback so, eg a theoretical person trying to complain about a spammer
sending stuff through clever manipulation of the "e-mail this user"
function couldn't reach the customary addresses.

I'm sure it's just a matter of sendmail configuration; I'm
just not very up on that because I use qmail on my server.
