Qmail requiring SMTP auth
Has anyone gotten netqmail patched with qmail-smtp-auth to not just allow, but require ESMTP authentication? I'm in the processes of setting up a port 587 (submission) server for my remote users to be able to send mail through while they're on the road, but I don't want it to usable without authentication.

LIke I said, currently with that patch, authentication works, but you can also send mail without it, which is bad from the perspective of preventing incoming spam.

NAME

       qmail - overview of qmail documentation

INTRODUCTION

       qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer agent.

       Users  who  want  to  control  incoming  messages  should read dot-qmail(5).  Available commands for the .qmail file include qbiff(1), qre-
       ceipt(1),  forward(1),  bouncesaying(1),  and  condredirect(1).   Other  helpful  commands  include  maildirmake(1),  maildir2mbox(1),  and
       maildirwatch(1).

       System  administrators  who want to control the entire qmail system should start with qmail-control(5) and qmail-start(8).  There are three
       queue-monitoring tools: qmail-qread(8), qmail-qstat(8), and qmail-tcpto(8).  Incoming SMTP connections are handled by qmail-smtpd(8).

       qmail offers two command-line message-sending interfaces: qmail-inject(8) and mailsubj(1).  For background  information  on  Internet  mail
       messages, see addresses(5), envelopes(5), qmail-header(5), and forgeries(7).

       Miscellaneous documentation includes qmail-limits(7) and qmail-pop3d(8).

       This  documentation  describes  netqmail version 1.05 of qmail.  See http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html for other qmail-related software, and
       http://qmail.org/ for other qmail community contributions.
