I think you are misunderstanding. I may be on an unstrusted network, but I want to send email through a host on a trusted network. By authenticating, I can. It was the "trusted host" which authenticated me, and thus SA needs to take that I was authenticated by a trusted host into consideration before applying the PBL rule to the address the mail initiated on.
