Hi!

I was asked to do a status report, so here it is:

-.forward-support works
-smarthost handling was improved, so only one connection is used per
message, not one connection per receipient
todo:

-cram-md5 authentication for smarthosts

The patch can be found here:

If you are interested, I would be glad to hear some opinions regarding
my approach.
Good work!  Could you describe on a high level how you handle .forward 
and smarthost, especially regarding security?

thanks
