Are  you  sure  that's  what  they said? Many sites have e-mail rattling
about  internal  MTA's  before  finally  being  spit out onto the public
network.

Yes,   each   MTA   records  who  it  got  the  e-mail from by adding  a
"Received:" header at the 'top'.

If  that's truly what they're doing they are going to be accepting a lot
less e-mail. Of course perhaps that's their intent :-)
