Well, their doc explains in more detail:

Apparently you can use their relay host to send mail via SMTP *if* you 
have connected to their POP3 server and logged in during the last 15 
minutes. I considered writing a script to do that, which I would have 
.qmail invoke before invoking TMDA, but then I would have to save my 
password in plain text for the script to send, which strikes me as a bad 
idea.

If you can see a way around the situation, please do let me know. I've 
been thinking about it for awhile and haven't come up with anything.

Oh -- wait. I see the errors there now. They are dated this morning, 
though, and I was testing this last night:

 Uncaught Python 2.0 Exception (Mon Aug 19 09:16:34 2002):

Perhaps TMDA retried for awhile and I was just too quick to send mail to
this list? At any rate, I apologize for reporting a bug that isn't there.
