	Oh.  Well it's not that critical and this is a temp solution
anyway.

	We provide anti-spam service via Postini and one of our clients
that has mail through another company was having their mail blocked from
Postini IP addresses.  Our workaround was to deliver mail to one of our
VPSs then relay that to the actual mail server via mailertables.  As
Murphy's law states, this other provider's mail servers started
deferring connections yesterday evening due to high traffic, so I was
hoping to set up two entries in mailertables in case that recurs.

	For those curious the block was for "too many unknown users"
which I suspect may have been triggered by another customer of theirs.
Postini has an option to reject mail for undefined e-mail addresses, but
if that is not set this other system sees all those incoming connections
as from random Postini IP addresses, not the original sender.
