I assume you understand that the server has to handle ESMTP to use this.
KA9Q still hasn't entirely caught up with 1123!

ie: you are asking for KA9Q for to become an ESMTP server

Although such a change is not difficult, it is fairly far reaching, and
would require Demon to change the punts to be ESMTP clients.
