[Info-vax] email forwarding

[JF Mezei]

A note worth mentioning:

When you place a .dis file in the TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON directory, this
becomes a distribution list usable by the WORLD.

The SMTP receiver sees a local destination mylist at myhost.com, so the
"don't relay" rules don't apply. The SMTP symbiont doesn't implement the
"don't relay" rules and it just processes the list whether it is from a
local or foreign sender.

In essence anyone can send to that distribution list, there is no
security on who can and cannot send to it. This is quite different from
distribution lists that are stored on your home directory.
