Subject: [PATCH] for Bug 18726 JavaMail doesn't support specifying the
SMTP bind address

The patch addresses the problem in the way as described below by Noel.

It adds a new configuration parameter, "bind" to the RemoteDelivery mailet.
If this parameter is not given then the patch doesn't change the current
algorithm at all.

This patch is against the 2.1.2 version, not the 3.0 head. I would like it
to be included in the next small bugfix release, I am already using it
successfully with 2.1.2.

If you accept it, I am willing to add the new configuration parameter to the
user doc, but I need to know the base cvs tag which I should use.
