 so I feel compelled to expressed my eternal gratitude...  There are some
 gateways which apparently will never work properly.  And there are some
 frustrated but persistent users that refuse to stop subscribing to lists
 from behind such gateways.  This change will help stop mail delivery errors
 to those users by making it possible to ignore commands from behind the
 gateway until it "plays nicely".  A very welcome change, thank you!
 
 Some of the other changes look very interesting as well.  I suspect that
 many of us will find the "fortunate side-effect"(s) of the traceback trap
 code to be quite handy!
