Why not move the NT based Domino server to your iSeries?

Well, I need to do _some_ relaying because our NT-based Domino server is
hiccuping way too much (especially since I installed the latest security
patches), and we rely on it for email for several sites.  So... I relay 
all
SMTP that comes in to our Domino server out to the SMTP on the 400.  It
works, but my ability to monitor the email is gone for the most part.

If I could just write an RPG program to verify the from/to addresses, that
would go along way towards keeping us off of the various block-lists.
