Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-4171:
---------------------------------------

I propose to update the SMTP default configuration to explicitly set 
authRequired = false on MX to be clearer.

> Submission only server

> h3. Context 
> I end up having to provide a submission only server for one of my customer.
> Problem: James bundles together the MX and submission role thus always accept 
> email of remote users addressed to local users.
> This unorthodox behaviour is not a problem when combining both roles (though 
> surprising!) however not being able to say "only authenticated users here" 
> prevents implementing the aformentionned use case
> h3. Proposal
> Add auth.required configuration option in SMTP
> If true, then discard unauthenticated senders.
> This shall be the documented + recommended value however for 
> retro-compatibility I propose to keep the legacy value as a default value.
