My network consists of two subnets: 10.0.9.0/24 and 10.0.10.0/24. The OpenSMTPD 
server is at 10.0.9.20. The email client is at 10.0.10.24. The mail server will 
relay mail to the Internet for the client with the following single rule:

No it will not accept emails from 10.0.9/24 or x.x.10/24


The problem is that the mail server *is* accepting/relaying mail from the client which is on a different subnet. So this behavior doesn't seem correct.

I discovered that authentication may be changing the behavior of "from local". But I'm not getting intuitive error messages (see below) from smtpd, so I'm unsure of the exact behavior. I just want confirmation of the meaning of "from local" with regards to successfully authenticated clients regardless of their locality from the server.

Here is my entire conf that allows the behavior described above:

### /etc/mail/smtpd.conf ###
table aliases   "/etc/mail/aliases"
table domains   "/etc/mail/domains"
table passwd    "/etc/mail/passwd"
table users     "/etc/mail/users"

pki tm certificate "/etc/ssl/mail.targetmeister.com.crt"
pki tm key "/etc/ssl/private/mail.targetmeister.com.key"

listen on localhost
listen on mail port smtp tls pki tm
listen on mail port submission tls-require pki tm auth <passwd>

accept from local for local alias <aliases> deliver to mbox
accept from any for domain <domains> virtual <users> \
       deliver to maildir "/var/spool/vmail/%{dest.domain}/%{dest.user}"
accept from local for any relay
### END ###

And here is the session output from smtpd when a client on a different subnet from the server submits an email for relay *with authentication* on submission port 587:

But, if I make authentication optional (auth-optional) on submission port and authentication on the client is turned off, I get the following session output:

As you can see, it does not relay the mail. It instead gives me a "550 Invalid recipient" error, which doesn't seem apropos. It seems the error should mention a failure in authentication, permission, or credentials.

Bottom line is, it seems successful authentication makes a client "local". Is this correct?
