hi,

i find lots of relayed messages in my eximstats output. there's no way
exim had relayed; i more suspect some confusion here (either mine, or
eximstats') (mine, that is).

the only case i could think of is a mail coming in from
joe@??? to luser@???; luser@??? is
aliased to bill@???, which exim truthfully follows.

now, it looks as if eximstats interpreted these messages as 'relayed'.
i think that at the bottomline it is right, there's no new message,
just the one coming in goes out, this is what relaying is about - i
was just scared for a moment thinking 'ohmygosh how did i manage to
be an open one'.

the spec (at a quick skim) doesn't mention this, so i suggest adding a
word or two so others won't get a heartache too :) (well, if i'm the
only one to whom it wasn't obvious at first sight, then maybe it
doesn't need to be added).
