SMTP Authentication is defined in the SMTP rfc and is not related with
the from address.
If you are authenticated james does not perform relay checks. If you are
not authenticated then messages destinated (SMTP RCPT TO: command
argument) to domains included in "<servernames>" will be accepted while
messages destinated to domains not included will be rejeacted.
SMTP authentication is not related to spam received.

Hi:
I installed the james mail server behind a firewall, and exposed its SMTP port through firewall tunneling. Because of the firewall, I cannot do any IP based authentication because all incoming connection shows the internal address of the firewall (192.0.something)
I turned on the SMTP authentication, and expected that it to authenticate each email the "from" address of which contains the server name that James is responsible for.
I tried a mail server testing web site to test whether james server rejects spams properly. It seems that if the authentication of SMTP was turned on in every case where "from" address contains the server name EXCEPT in one case where both the "from" address and "to" address contain the server name.
Can anyone help pointing out how I can turn on SMTP authentication for James in the case the "from" address and "to" address contains the server name that James is responsible for?
Thanks in advance!
Ken
