And, according to RFC 2476 (6.2. Require Authentication), you are within
your right.
But, in section 9 (Security Considerations), it also says:
If a site fails to require any form of authorization for message
submissions (see section 3.3 for discussion), it is allowing open use
of its resources and name; unsolicited bulk email can be injected
using its facilities.
Reading back, I see you actually misquoted me; I said:

(capitalization added). So, I take it you mean to say you enforce
AUTH, too? :)
