Internal users: With AUTH - correlate message with authenticated user,
then forbid mail transmission for them only. I'd rather do that than
slog through RADIUS logs. But, hey, maybe if I had more free time...
Increasing the detail of an audit trail doesnt mean anyone will
automatically use the information in an effective manner.
Without auth, most ISPs could correlate abuse behavior between MTA
logs and RADIUS logs, if they cared. Most don't. SMTP AUTH won't
change that.
