Wait, I think we're talking two different things here ... at least, I hope JD
is ... SMTP AUTH is required to send email *through* any of our servers, except
MX ... but, what Magnus was proposing would have required CMD to setup their
MTA to do an SMTP AUTH to postgresql.org's MTA to send @postgresql.org ...

ie. if joshua(at)postgresql(dot)org sent out email, it would deliver to his local MTA,
with his local MTA connecting to postgresql.org MTA, who would then deliver it
out to the world ...
