Concerning 1: There's the possibility of ip spoofing, so this isn't a bullet
proof indicator of the trustworthiness of a mail. I don't know if this is an
issue, though. If it is, I'd like to see this criteria for relaying being
configurable. Maybe something like:

<authRequired>all|non-local|none</authRequired>

Then you'd be sure that every mail within the spool is authenticated
according to the administrator's view. Either it is allowed due to
configuration/authentication (your 1. and 2.) or it was inserted into the
spool directly by james (your 3.).

Regards,
Thomas
