Does anyone know if FW-1's (any version) SMTP Security server supports RFC
2554?  This is the SMTP AUTH command, which is used by Microsoft Exchange to
authenticate clients.  This allows restricting relays to authenticated
users.  Without such a mechanism, you must either allow everyone to relay (a
bad thing) or just close it all (equally bad since we have SMTP clients
connecting from the internet).  The only other workaround is to just pass
SMTP traffic to our mail server, but this leaves the server vulnerable to
malformed command attacks and similar problems.

Thanks!
