We actually have the authentication portion of the module functioning, the
only part we are having trouble with is in getting qpsmtpd to relay the
message to the appropriate server. If the recipient domain is in the
rcpthosts file then of course it has to be relayed to the server that did
the authenticating, else relayed to a server in the outside world. I will
be submiting this code to the group once it is running, any suggestions as
to where to send it??
