Thanks to those who replied. The tcpserver solution turned out to be
trivial to implement, as has virtually everything else related to this
project. qmail, cyrus, ezmlm, tcpwrappers... When everything you
install just starts working with a minimum of fuss, you begin to wonder
if something weird is going on. I keep going back to it to see if there
isn't some messy configuration task I've missed. Maybe I'll go install
INN just to keep myself in shape :-)
