    Smarthosts do not usually have user/password authentication.  Instead
    they are typically either MX based or explicitly allow 'relay'
    connections for particular domains or IP ranges.

all of the smarthosts I use are authenticated. that's because users are behind dialup and thus don't have a fixed IP address.


i think we shouldn't get carried away. if it doesn't work with dma, you can still install a traditional MTA.

cheers
