I've seen that page as well as http://www.postfix.org/XCLIENT_README.html
Neither says what the two boxes labelled "PostFfix SMTP server" in the
diagram in http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_PROXY_README.html need to
send and accept XFORWARD and/or XCLIENT commands.

I also see nothing about whether the second "PostFfix SMTP server"
needs to receive the XFORWARD and/or XCLIENT commands or the "Before
queue filter" should generate its own 250-OKs and filter them.

I see smtp_send_xforward_command in http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html,
but is it sufficient, or necessary?  The description of that parameter
is not clear to me.

If necessary I could change the dccifd code to add an XFORWARD
clause to the EHLO responsep passing , and filter the resulting
XFORWARD commands.
