But can we have a single daemon bound to the same port on
two different IPs - eg. post.thorcom.com and relay.thorcom.com
on the same box both on port 25.

If so can I run the main one with RBL and no auth and run the
second with auth and no RBL? Or, alternatively, is it now possible
to do auth *before* RBL?

Consider me with my roaming laptop - I pug it into the internet
(perhaps via a corporate LAN/firewall/DHCP etc.) somewhere.

I can get my mail using IMAP (I use courier-imap and Maildir
delivery from Exim and its great) but to send from my laptop
I need a publically available SMTP relay. Any publically available
relay probably isn't an "open relay" (mine certainly aren't) and
probably also use RBL.

I want to be able to configure my laptop to always relay via the
same host - hence auth is probably required.
