Gilles, I'm actually wondering - should there even be a difference?

Every practical implementation of 587 I've ever seen requires auth. Is there
any sane reason to have "enable auth" not actually require it?  I.E. what
I'm asking is is "enable" (without require) simply a silly knob that
we're putting
in place that nobody should use?

If you're accepting without auth, typically I find that's just done on
port 25 - and
anywhere I've deployed it that's what we've done.

does anyone have a real use of port 587 with auth turned on but not required?
