Been thinking about this.  I think that the only way to tell is to have a
matcher to check if the message was put in via an authenticated smtp
session.

If a valid user sends a message to an external address then it should be
accpeted.
If a valid user sends a message to an internal address then it should be
accepted.
If an unrecognised user sends a message to an external user then it should
be dropped.
If an unrecognised user sends a message to an internal user then it should
be chekched against the spam filters.

1. is there a matcher to check for an 'authenticated' smtp session? (i
couldnt see on in the docs)

2. If a local user sends a message to a local recipient, they dont have to
authenticate themselves, so it is feasible that a dialup user accesses the
server, sends an email to a local recipient without authentication. Does
anyone know the behavious of outlook/etc with regards to this? (ie. if the
box is ticked to authenticate in outlook, will it always authenticate, or
only when it is asked?)

I think for now i will just have to turn off the njabl checks.

Yes the filters are "mailets" and are invoked using "matchers" RTM.
