That's not true. There's no reason klecker cannot call out,
using uucp-over-tcp or whatever to your site. It would be
very like SMTP delivery, with the added benefit that klecker
would need to log in to your machine. So if your IP changed,
and someone else got it before you can advise debian.net, your
mail WON'T be delivered to a stranger.
