We're in the webhosting business so we can't control how our clients
send out their email. And I'm not sure I'd want to; life is much
easier when clients use their own ISP to send email, if only because
that way we don't have to teach them how to change the SMTP port in the
Outlook <smile>.

However we do require all senders to authenticate either by POP before
SMTP, or password. Could we add a line:

authenticated = *

?

My understanding is that the line means only those who've been
authenticated. Or does that mean something completely different?

Thanks.
