+This option requests delivery be attempted while the item is being received.
+It is usable in the RCPT ACL and valid only for single-recipient mails forwarded
+from one SMTP connection to another.  If a recipient-verify callout connection is
+requested in the same ACL it is held open and used for the data, otherwise one is made
+after the ACL completes.
+
+Should the ultimate destination system positively accept or reject the mail,
+a corresponding indication is given to the source system and nothing is queued.
+If there is a temporary error the item is queued for later delivery in the
+usual fashion. If the item is successfully delivered in cutthrough mode the log line
+is tagged with ">>" rather than "=>" and appears before the acceptance "<="
+line.
+
+Delivery in this mode avoids the generation of a bounce mail to a (possibly faked)
+sender when the destination system is doing content-scan based rejection.
