So if I create a global variable up top with 'use vars' or whatever, then
_set_ it in filter_relay to the value of $helo, it won't be available in
filter_begin or end?  I have not read GLOBAL VARIABLE LIFETIME (lately),
but I will now.

Mind you I have no need for anything like this, and I would certainly
just use $Helo instead if I did, but just so I know what's going on
with MD... I just set this in my filter and it seems to be working, is
something going to happen in the future that'll bite me in the arce?

I'll be dipped.  I knew about the Relay ones, but not $Helo...  Thanks.
