Users don't need to authenticate - for example, my local hosts don't (I suppose
I should set it up, but haven't gotten around to that). The purpose of
rejecting unresolvable domains is for incoming mail - ie, if I send you smtp
mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED], do you want to accept it? With the test
available, you'll immediately reject it, no matter who the recipient is.
You can't force *all* your mail to be authenticated. How would I sent mail
to you?
