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@postgresql.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 ...
