I think Bob's point is that then you use 587 (with auth) for yourselves and
25 (without auth) for mail from the rest of the intertubes.
Yes, that's my point :)
Along with the fact that this is probably the 99% use case out there.
Keeping with an "OpenBSD" type phliosophy says that the config should
be geared towards that with a minimum of knobs, especially knobs you need
to turn to be in the 99% use case.
That's all I'm saying :)
Then what about the opposite ?
listen on fxp0 [...] auth # 99% case
listen on fxp0 [...] auth-optional # 1% case
I'd say this is at least less surprising, and will likely cause less
admins to open a backdoor for locally destinated mail, bypassing spam
countermeasures and the likes.
