Hmmm, IAN(ian), but actually I'll go out on a limb and say I can certainly
see the advantages in doing it, as long as they don't get their smarthosts
in ORBS/RBL by mistake as well :8]

(If you're going to have a smarthost at all, I'd prefer the chance to
forget its existence and plod on happily - that said, I've not fallen foul
of idiots using the DUL in the last 6 months or so, I dunno why.)
