i think that with the current climate on the net, it is important for
any mailer to be shipped with relay turned off. the spammers are
getting pretty agressive about hunting down unprotected MX hosts now
and it's getting _very_ ugly out there.
the specific reason i switched to exim in the first place was the
spam control; i think that a lot of those who have recently switched
did it for that reason.

i think that having the ip address up there is good enough; we can
always do the lookup manually if a message attracts our attention.
