I have set an Asterix in dc_relay_nets, couse i don't want the clients
be authenticated, that was miss understandable how i wrote it, i want
the users be authenticated.

In short: Now the server accepts even mail from clients, when the users
are not sending an authentication (login and password). What i want, is
the relay permissions by user-authentication, not by host/net
ip-authentication.
