[lots of MAILER source routes deleted]
 
If I remember right, these were recommended back in the days when FAL (and,
hence, most INTERBITs) couldn't handle MX records.  Now that (I'm fairly
sure) all INTERBITs *can* handle MX records, I can't think of a single
reason why we should force the routing through some specific host.
 
I suppose if a particular mailer uses a particular private gateway,
then there might be some circumstance where that type of routing would
be useful.  But as a "Network Policy" I would say that all of those
routes should be deleted.
