    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4171?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18057543#comment-18057543 ] 

Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-4171:
---------------------------------------

Also this would force us to generate the bounce, while we can by rejecting it at the SMTP level get the SMTP client to generate the bounce wich is way cleaner.

> h3. Context 
> I end up having to provide a submission only server for one of my customer.
> Problem: James bundles together the MX and submission role thus always accept email of remote users addressed to local users.
> This unorthodox behaviour is not a problem when combining both roles (though surprising!) however not being able to say "only authenticated users here" prevents implementing the aformentionned use case
> h3. Proposal
> Add auth.required configuration option in SMTP
> If true, then discard unauthenticated senders.
> This shall be the documented + recommended value however for retro-compatibility I propose to keep the legacy value as a default value.
