OK, then obviously this is something that can't really be used on a 
mixed user email server. I don't think my business clients would be too 
happy if they found out they missed a sale due to us making it too hard 
for a 'dumb sender' to get their email through, when it can go right 
through to a competitor's email server.

I really didn't think this thread was very clear about this aspect... 
basically... "Not For Production Servers".
