That's correct. CommuniGate puts the DNS based information before the
parentheses, and puts non-DNS based information inside the parentheses
(for authenticated email, it puts the authenticated user account instead
of the HELO info, for non-authenticated it puts the HELO string, but
there's also a third case which I'm not recalling at the moment).
