Well, to pick some nits here, it is John's second assumption that is
correct; the first one is wrong: Surely you can use rcpthosts and
RELAYCLIENT with tcpserver.

More nits: That should be the default "allow" entry. In the absense
of a general default in the tcpcontrol file, tcpserver acts as if it
said
:allow
The point, of course, is that the default behaviour does not set
RELAYCLIENT, so rcpthosts applies.
