Let me explain :-)
I don't want to _require_ authentication. I want it to be a possibility.
What I would like is:
a) be able to send a mail from localhost without authentication
b) be able to send a mail from localhost (precisely from a spam-filtering proxy such as ASSP) _with_ authentication.
Note that authentication _already_ does work. The only thing I miss with Mozilla Thunderbird as client is that James' answer to EHLO doesn't state it does support AUTH it if you come from an authorized address. Which causes Thunderbird to not even try authentication. All that would be required would be an option like "AlwaysAnnounceAuthSupport".
As I told before, users must go through ASSP which passes the authentication onto James, since they are remote (no fixed ip). So we reach this problem where going through assp (on the same machine) makes the user look like it's coming from localhost but still needs to authenticate (otherwise assp would refuse the connection).
I am not certain I managed to be clear enough.

mited.
You asked for authentication to be required for localhost, you can't ask for it not to be required at the same time!
