Likewise. But an MSA server to what sort of *client* to the MSA functionality?

i.e.

- internal/sibling MX in your own load-balancing, segregated incoming/
outgoing, prioritized, or 'failover' pool, distant but approved
'relay_from_hosts'?

(might - just perhaps - justify some out-of-the-ordinary / 'extra'
checks. Probably at least exhibit 'predictable' behaviour.)

- end-user MUA's

(unpreditable, almost certain to break many of the sloppy ones, and no
certainty of improvement in security)

Either way, 'other and better means' than looking for a misplaced 'HELO'.
