XCLIENT impersonates a client and the SMTP server will act as if the XCLIENT
was the real client, e.g. it will apply ACLs and other policies to the XCLIENT
personality.

XFORWARD will not alter the SMTP server behaviour. The client and message data
from XFORWARD will only be used for logging purposes.
