The problem here is that Greg's opinion is that accepting gifts
presents a real or perceived conflict of interest.
The key point being the word perceived. The statement covers all
eventualities.
If the CoI is not real, it remains possible for it to be perceived -

However, I would welcome any information that proves me otherwise. i.e.

it regardless of relay settings.
I may be misremembering the details.
Also, no even half-way correctly firewall would let this type of packet

doing this with a virtual server that is not exposed to the Internet. If
