Richard,

Authentication is only required for relaying (unless the server hasn't been set up properly) -- i.e. my SMTP server won't relay mail to someone else for *you*, but it will relay it for *me* because I'm authenticated.

On the other hand, my server will accept mail *for me* from anyone. If it didn't, I wouldn't get much mail :-)

But doesn't this mean that all any spammer has to do is use the same trick to send spam to a recipient on the recipient's own SMTP server?
