They are trying to prevent spammers from spoofing customer MAIL FROM: addresses while delivering mail to other clients. This is a good thing. If you want to circumvent this check, either authenticate or -- if you cannot, for the reasons you previously cited -- ask them to exempt you from those particular checks. This really is no longer a Postfix issue, but rather a matter of policy between you and your provider. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@freebsd.org>
