Note that this is not exactly what I meant.  Proxying the MAIL FROM and 
RCPT TO commands is a first step, but really the DATA command should be 
proxied, too, in order to cover any content checks that the receiver 
system might perform.  Only if the receiver system accepts the DATA 
command and the message data with a 2xx status code, should the 
forwarding/relaying/proxying system "accept" the message vis-a-vis the 
calling system.  (Or of course if the receiver system isn't reachable.)
