Some people find it helpful to have the auth user recorded in the postfix log. It is certainly not required. If you're going to use AUTH, it's easier to require TLS/SSL everywhere rather than making exceptions in master.cf, although I agree that TLS/SSL on the loopback interface is a noop. And finally, I've had more consistent results using SSL/465 when using software that might not fully implement SMTP, since it's a simpler software interface. -- Noel Jones
