I am administering some bunch of SMTP servers and have all of them
protected from unwanted relaying/senders. As a system administrator I
don't want to enable relaying in order to redirect some messages using
any e-mail client - I'll forward them instead. However, a correct
redirect implementation (see my original message) will be good for TB.

JFYI, ORBS is not only one good spam-blocking system - have you heard
about RBL?
