Please do not take private emails into a public forum.

Thanks for trying to explain the email issues,
but a better approach would be as i suggested in
my previous reply - get the whole story straight
on the infrastructure mailing list then patch the
doc that was referred to.

Are you sure that Infra@ wants that to happen?

Sorry, my bad. I should have realized this when I couldn't find this email in 
a public archive and had to dig it out of my mailbox... :-(

I don't really know. I figured that if Apache _is_ hosting an SMTP server 
thats accepts connections on port 25 from anywhere, combined with the fact 
that its hard to get other SMTP servers to relay @a.o emails, then it was 
probably intended to be used that way. But I could be wrong.

Yep, I think its best to pursue this with infra directly, thanks for the note.
