I missed that, sorry. But still, SIMS is not relaying incoming list
messages, it's delivering them to a local Macjordomo account, right? If
that's the case, you don't need to add anything to the client hosts for
incoming list messages. And for outgoing list messages, if Macjordomo is on
the same machine as SIMS then it's not a relay. If it is, then add the
Macjordomo's IP address to the client hosts list.

If Whistle Blower is on a different computer then you'd want that in the
client hosts lists as well.

3-rivers.com = mail.3-rivers.com.smtp
(I think that's the syntax -- someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
