You have a _very_ flexible employer there.

You needn't discuss anything, except how Plan 9 makes you life easier than 
FreeBSD would. You could even drop that. Even responding to my first post 
was an act of volition, I reckon.

It seems fine here. Both Hebrew and Arabic. I presume the Plan 9 smtpd is 
running at quintile.net and not even bothering to identify itself as "ESMTP 
(something)" because after quintile.net the path goes through Exim and then 
Google's machinery.

Now, could you have input that text? Relaying mail as it is isn't really a 
feat, you know. That's the _minimum_ expected from an MTA.

Reading your postings is always a pleasure. Do me the favor more often :-)
