[Mimedefang] sysconfig / mimedefang

Hello,

I use mimedefang rpm on fedora 11.

I notice there are numerous settings available in /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang
but I cannot find any documentation.

Does anyone know where the documentation is for that?

For example, the following settings look real interesting but are off by
default:

MX_RELAY_CHECK=no
MX_HELO_CHECK=no
MX_SENDER_CHECK=no
MX_RECIPIENT_CHECK=no

How does it check sender?  How does it check recipients?  I am using the
server as a filter only which forwards to another server.  It would be a
great thing if mimedefang could check senders and receivers but it seems too
good to be true.

I turned on the relay and helo check.  Was that a good idea or is that
redundant to other tests?

Thanks in advance,

Cliff
