Always vague and beaten to death on lists and bugs.

There are two lists, internal_networks and trusted_networks. Lastexternal and
firsttrusted are their identical counterparts (first relay that isn't in those
networks).

It's crucial that RBLs etc are applied on the internal/external border, that is
the MX border. That's where you also use RBLs for SMTP time rejecting.

It's common that trusted_networks extends further for whitelisting purposes
etc.

If someone really wants to continue debating this, it should be in it's own bug
or users list (you probably can find million discussions from both before).
Someone should reaally document these in depth so even devs don't forget it..
