Since the DOS goes by connection filtering, my relay server would be
considered the sending machine and therefore blacklisted even though it
didn't send the message - right??

So, I white list it, and then no matter who send s anything, its all coming
in - right??

Hmmm
Do I misunderstand or will the DOS feature count undeliverable incomming
messages?
In this case a relayed message will be delivered and so not count.

However Darrels feature request to have a valid recipient file for gatewayed
domains would let work the DOS prevention also for this messages.

Mike: I believe the IP whitelist table would be a sender IP list. So it
wouldn't work to whitelist nummerous messages comming from different sources
and relayed to one other IP.
