Mmh, you actually run SA when you get connections from MUAs?
Unless you have customers that you don't trust, I wouldn't.
Also, I would generally accept MUA mails on a different machine than the one
that accepts mail from the outside (you don't want high load due to a mail
flood to cause rejecting internal mail for instance).
But if you do have to run everything on one machine and one port, and you
can't trust your local users, I understand why you did that
