The auth mechanism works very well and I don't want to change anything
to it. The only thing missing is the ability to advertise that AUTH is
available _also_ to trusted hosts. The behaviour currently is that if
the host is trusted (127.0.0.1 typically) james hides it's ability to
receive auth

Yes, of course I actually fixed the problem for me by commenting this
line since this exact server doesn't really need to allow localhost to
