This is going to be very difficult relative to the other ideas, if you
continue to resist AD. With AD as the back end, you can authenticate
to SMTP using any valid credentials in any permissioned context. It's
already done like this by people who run Exchange and want to
instantly offload SMTP AUTH sessions from their mailbox servers.
I do not think that adding an additional out-of-context authentication
method is going to be worth attempting.

Well...we're basically already doing this with a transport event sink.
I didn't want to mention it yet, but I've been using our own external
tests under MS SMTP for the past month on one server, for example.

Easy enough to code within an event sink, though I've never had a
desire for this because the overhead could be crippling and it's quite
counter to SMTP as a protocol.
Giving Declude the ability to (a) natively interpret a single RFC822
file with MS headers, as passed by MS SMTP (right now, you'd have to
write out a dummy Q file, which is easy but an admitted extra step)
would be nice to have. And being able to disable all daisy-chaining
with a GLOBAL.CFG setting, since MS will automatically proceed with
message processing once control is returned to the service, would make
SMTP32 log errors go away. IMO+E, none of this requires anything crazy
to be done by SortMonster or Declude--except for licensing
clarifications! :)
