Well, that paper was the first thing I did before I went to do the job. But I 
have to admit, I found it rather hard to understand. (No offence meant, of 
course, but you might have gone deeper into the difference between SRS0 and 
SRS1) But I think I'm getting into it now. 
If I would indeed always do multiple passes, I wouldn't be able to deliver 
those mails since the resulting address wouldn't be our's anymore (the users 
forwarding address in our system) but the address at the host from where that 
mail has been forwarded to us, right?
So one pass is it.
