@Sebastian,
If you live in a world where IPs are dynamic, then you will understand my
point.
There is no real benefit of restricting auth to particular IPs, IMHO.
If you must restrict AUTH to just a few IPs, then you actually don't need
that overhead.
Just put them in relay_from_hosts and you are good.
