Background:
I'm trying to use XMail server as a pass-through SMTP server but have it
drop emails incoming from open relays.  I understand that I can use the
CustMapsList server.tab parameter to effect the protection from
open-relay-sent email.

Network configuration:
Incoming mail:
Internet --> XMail server --> Company SMTP antivirus gateway --> Company
groupware server

Outgoing mail:
Company groupware server --> Internet

Issues:
As yet I have only experimented with telnetting to the experimental XMail
server and typing raw SMTP commands.  However, I have experienced the
following problems:

1. Eaten To: field
When the email gets to my Inbox, there's no entry in the "To" field.
Shouldn't XMail pick up the RCPT TO: and pass it to the next email server?
Is there a configuration parameter I haven't set?  Or am I not typing in
RFC-compliant SMTP commands?

2. Undeliverables
When I mistyped a RCPT TO: command to have an email address that was
syntactically valid, but didn't exist on the destination server, I expected
to receive an undeliverable at the (valid and existing) MAIL FROM: email
that I had specified.  However, I didn't.  Do I need to set a configuration
parameter (perhaps the retry)?
