    You're free to use whatever mail relayers outside of our
administrative purview that you like, but if they add source routes
to the envelope addresses, you have to be aware that those messages
will be refused.

    Get those SMTP MTAs to be compliant with RFC 1123 with regards
to not adding source routes, and you won't have any problems.
