Unfortunately we don't use SMTP AUTH.  The other unfortunate thing is I
haven't got a clue how to use $RelayAddress.  Do you think there might be
an example in the archives and if so do you about when it might have been
posted?  I haven't found a searchable archive for this list yet so I'll
have to go through the threads by month.  This has surely been done
before.  It seems like a fairly commonsense thing to do.

Thanks for the info
