Which we do; we require authenticated submission on port 587.

Mine doesn't. I just sent an email from a return address
emailname@??? (running on server1) to emailname@??? (running
on server2), using an outgoing authenticated connection to server3. There
were no special sender or any other headers.

Does anyone know what setting I'd need for that to happen? Is it considered a
default configuration? If so what might I have removed?

I've never seen any of this. Can you or anyone else point me to something
like this?

Thanks.
