What Paul is *trying* to do is deal with the fact that any Windows-like
box with spamware is *also* configured to send mail out.

What he's *looking* for is called "SPF", not "outbound MX".

(Whether SPF is actually workable is a different subject entirely - however,
it *is* the closest thing we have to a "standard" on how to tag things the
way Paul is wishing MX were done....)
