Uh.... sorry Rendi!

As I said: I was in a hurry, I didn't mean to direct the answer to
you!  It should go to Peter (I took the wrong name).

Anyway, I don't have the original OP message (I don't know why, I just
don't have it), so, I answered with what I have, and based on my
experience: with these directives, you can implement a
"person-by-person" migration, ie: within "internal network", SMTP auth
would be optional, thus allowing you to have a mixed environment (some
people with auth, some people without auth).  No, this won't generate
the message he wants, but allows you to slowly adopt the SMTP
authentication, without disrupting current users.

About the "bounce" message (which would not be exactly a bounce), I
would have to think more about it, but I bet there are ways of doing
it.... However, I think it is better that he just send out massive
email to his 200k users telling them that they should update their
configuration to use SMTP authentication, and that starting X date,
unauthenticated mails will be rejected, and repeat the message some
times (once a week for a month, for example).  That'd be simple to do,
and should work.

Sincerely,

Ildefonso Camargo
