Yeah, I know that...I knew that from the beginning...

In my humble, non-programmer opinion, this is quite silly to do.  Simply
because you will run into problems like the one I'm having.  Most MTAs now
turn off relaying.

The interesting thing is, GAEA has been told to allow relays from the
localhost.  That's not the problem.  The problem is what in the world is
listserv doing opening up port 25 to send out mail?  It's not an MTA, let
the other programs take care of that, don't you think?  Then again, I'm not
a programmer... :)
