Description of problem:
I was running Apache as a proxy in front of Zope server with mod_proxy. Tonight
I mentioned tons of mails going from my sendmail on same server to the world.
After investigation - my mail host only accepts AUTHed mail connects and only
localhost is relayed as is - I checked all VHost on the machine. Finally I found
out the VHost which causes to react to the outside requests with initiating
outgoing mails. It is the proxy VHost for Zope. All directives are well there. I
decided to exchange the ProxyPass rules against Rewrite rules and all went fine.
The outside requests are still in the apache log. now going to Zope, but nothing
happens, especially no mails are produced any more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
apache-1.3.27-1.7.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in Apache VHost settings for proxying: 
ProxyRequests on
ProxyVia on
ProxyPass / \
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/vhost1.domain.tld:80/zope/VirtualHostRoot/
ProxyPassReverse / \
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/vhost1.domain.tld:80/zope/VirtualHostRoot/

2.starting Apache and getting the requests
As example one cached reqest:
root $ cat /var/cache/httpd/V4/Se/yT/gJ_0yLFDT8Kpd2jw

3. on maillog you can see the relayed outgoing mails. I expect anything else is
possible than just using the host as a spam relay.
    

Actual Results:  To every outside request mails are going out.

Expected Results:  The request should be proxied to the Zope server where they
should be ignored as no valid HTTP requests.
