+ ACL modifier; works for single-recipient mails which are received on and
deliverable via SMTP. Using the connection made for a recipient verify,
if requested before the verify, or a new one made for the purpose while
the inbound connection is still active. The bulk of the mail item is copied
direct from the inbound socket to the outbound (as well as the spool file).
When the source notifies the end of data, the data acceptance by the destination

+ is negotiated before the acceptance is sent to the source. If the destination
does not accept the mail item, for example due to content-scanning, the item
is not accepted from the source and therefore there is no need to generate
a bounce mail. This is of benefit when providing a secondary-MX service.
The downside is that delays are under the control of the ultimate destination
system not your own.
- The Recieved-by: header on items delivered by cutthrough is generated

early in reception rather than at the end; this will affect any timestamp
included. The log line showing delivery is recorded before that showing
reception; it uses a new ">>" tag instead of "=>".
