application platform it currently accepts all mail delivered to it via SMTP for
processing. Only after the mail has been recieved does this processing begin.</p>

Spam. However the default configuration, and any sensible re-configuration has a
number of anti-spam measures which will prevent the re-transmisson of spam from James.
