On the contrary. GR is handling multiple tags but doesn't know what to do
with it since there is only space for one :mailer. in the XMAILER NAMES file.
I do not know what happens to all these OUTONLY servers that try and send
messages to a VM mailer that checks for trusted mailers. I thought that it
is better to put out some warning instead of simply ignoring these
definitions (last time when I looked into MAKEINFO, it was just ignoring
everything after the first type MAIL.)

There are two server tags in these nodes. The first one is taken and the other
is ignored (and you are warned.)
