Jeff, Smtp auth is enabled by default, and there does not seem to be a way to turn it off (why would you?), however I know the "EnableAuthSMTP-POP3" "1" is configurable and is turned on by default.
*ALL* my users are told to use smtp auth. It gets them around grey listing and they can send as whom ever they like. Because of this I still know who they are, and that's all that matters. Never had a problem, but then I've never actively promoted or tried pop-b4-smtp.

The part that suprised me is that I am not set up to do real SMTP authentication (only pop before), but when going through the ASSP proxy running on the same system as XMail, SMTP authentication not only works with at least some email clietns but is actually required for some. Perhaps this is expected behavior, but I thought it was an either/or sort of thing. So, ASSP -> Xmail with pop before SMTP works with Thunderbird (at least), but in Outlook 2003 and Mac OS X Mailtool (at least) SMTP authentication is required for proper authentication. This was not the case when ASSP was on a seperate IP and a seperate platform - with that config, pop before SMTP worked for all these email clients. Also this was not the case when ASSP was not in the picture (so obviously it has something to do with ASSP -> XMail).
