But its still good to use "auth_advertise_hosts" to restrict which hosts
that are permitted to authenticate in addition to this.
Else you will get bots that hack the password and then spam with your
server.
In auth_advertise_hosts, you can use CIDR notation (like 123.123.123.0/24)
to allow large amounts of hosts in case of dynamic IP or mobile terminals.
So authenticated SMTP should still be IP restricted since there is bots out
there guessing passwords (and hitting the right passwords sometimes and
gaining access)

Instead of relying on IP addresses for relaying (as should be listed in
relay_from_hosts) it is better to use ASMTP ad the condition for relaying.
So just set up authenticated SMTP and let users enable the same on their MuA
and you are good to go.
