That check is there to stop SA running on "locally generated" mail. i.e. any
mail sent from a client IP address that is classified as being allowed to
RELAY. This is done for two reasons:

You are right to mention this. There was some discussion a while back on how
to stop SA running on locally-generated email, and I did the RELAYCLIENT
trick to fix it - but I never documented it...
Better fix that :-)
