These days, not really. But when Eudora was king and the feature was
usually enabled when supported on the MTA side, I would guess maybe 1%
of Eudora users knew of and used the feature. The point is more that

Ncacn_http is intended to be WAN-centric, actually (though those that
roll it out often use it on the LAN as well for simplicity).

Maybe a nit... but technically not LAN-only using ncacn_http.

POP3 XTND XMIT submission extensions already "polluted" POP3 many
years ago, supported by many thousands of servers (tho' not
necessarily enabled).

By which I think you mean that *your Windows-based MTA* can lock the
file and cause SA to fail.
A properly-written MTA-SA hook, or MTA-name_your_external_hook, has no
such problems on Windows. We process millions of messages through

P.S. You didn't start *a new thread* on their forum, which is as much
community-supported as vendor-supported. This is not being thorough,
for what seems like an urgent issue.

SMFilter doesn't add anything; SM does add an "authenticated" header.

It is and it isn't. The fact that they don't have a simple way of

Well, not really. I'd say part and parcel of any SA-MTA integration is
finding a way to whitelist messages _before SA is launched_, thus (a)
saving you SA's CPU and disk time (esp. since you're using

Yes, and the warning is telling you that the value '192.168/16' (not
thethename 'internal_networks') is not duplicated in
trusted_networks, as would normally be expect
