$ telnet localhost 25
250-SIZE 52428800
250-PIPELINING
250-AUTH PLAIN CRAM-MD5
250 HELP

btw, i use custom authenticator to check users against MySQL database.

i 'm using range too
and i want to know why "authenticate *" has NO effect in acl

because i can't assure that client IPs won't change

Thanks
