Imail (and IMgate's postfix and sendmail) handle ETRN as a case of
"relay for addresses" where the ETRN domain.com must be authenticated
against the NT hosts file (similar tables exists in the other mail
servers) before Imail flushes the queue to the ETRN-issuing domain.
The NT hosts file also tells Imail to accept the ETRN domain's
incoming/outgoing mail for relay.
So relay for addresses MUST be checked, excluding the dangerously
useless Relay for local hosts/users. I know you know this now, Mark,
but I bet a lot of lurkers/newbies don't.
