Ok, so the main problem people have with sendmail and mailman is that using
the smtpdirect approach with a busy machine costs too much hang time at both
the MAIL FROM and the RCPT TO anti-relay/spam testing points, right?
And what we want is a way to configure it to continue to validate against J. Random
connection coming in to port 25 from whereever in the world, but if the connection
comes from 127.0.0.1, we want it to just basically shut up and take the message.

Does that about sum it up?
