Not documented, therefore not supported. The RFC for that protocol does not require that the SMTP server uses the AUTH=sender parameter. > Found doc from google search, but it is for exim only > (https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-smtp_authentication.html#SECTauthparamail) AUTH=sender has not been necessary in Postfix so it is not yet implemented.
