why are you using authenticated SMTP from trusted networks?The whole point of auth smtp is to come from UN-trusted networks.
In the OP's case, his authenticating server is separate from his SA server. In any case, the server indicating authentication (localhost or otherwise) should be a trusted server, else you don't trust the authentication.
If your authentication server is relaying for spammers, you've got an entirely different problem.No, not really. You as an administrator cannot control what your users do and if your users save their authenticated SMTP passwords into their e-mail clients then later allow their machines to be cracked, then the crackers get the auth password and away they go.
As I said, that is a different problem. Feel free not to use smtp-auth, or require VPN first, or whatever makes you happy.
