The only case an unlimited trust would be useful is if you trust the mail, even if the host relays mail from untrusted hosts. But if the sources are untrusted, why are you trusting the mail just because it came through some super-trusted server?


As described in previous e-mails, host A cannot talk to host C except to relay via host B.

Host A is trusted if relayed by host B.

If Host A appears to be connecting to host C, then it's a forged IP and I don't trust it.

That's the nature of the problem.
