 I noticed the following about the relay-level setting:
 normal: Prevent relaying according to the contents of the access file
 and the list of local domains. Authenticated and whitelisted connections
 will be allowed to relay. This is the default.
 
 Whitelisted connections are only allowed to relay when spamdyke controls
 authentication, no?
 
 Just to repeat my position, I think for consistency and security's sake,
 whitelisted connections should have no effect on relaying.
 Authentication and access file settings are sufficient to control
 relaying. This way, whitelisting works the same regardless of which
 authentication mechanism is used.
 
 In either case, I think the documentation could stand to be modified.
 
 Thanks Sam.
